Brookland is a small village and civil parish in the district of Folkestone and Hythe, in Kent, England. It sits on the low-lying, reclaimed wetlands of Romney Marsh, a landscape of wide skies, drainage ditches and grazing pasture, with the shingle expanse of Dungeness and the small town of New Romney within easy reach.
The settlement retains a distinctly rural, agricultural character - sheep and arable farming remain important - alongside a medieval parish church that hints at the long history of marsh settlement, reclamation and coastal trade (and the smuggling tales that go with it). Today it draws birdwatchers and visitors exploring the unique coastal and marshland environment, while a small, close‑knit community maintains village life and occasional local events.
