Dymchurch sits on the English Channel coast in Kent, England, where a sea wall and a broad shingle-and-sand beach meet the low-lying expanse of Romney Marsh. The village is shaped by its long effort to protect this vulnerable shoreline: Dymchurch Martello Tower, one of the coastal defences erected during the Napoleonic Wars, recalls the strategic importance of the coast. The Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway calls here on its narrow-gauge route between Hythe and Dungeness, linking the settlement with the marsh and neighbouring resorts. Beyond the beach, the flat open terrain and drainage channels give this corner of Kent a markedly different feel from its cliff-lined coast.
