Burmarsh is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Folkestone and Hythe, in Kent, England, sitting on the edge of the low-lying Romney Marsh near the Kent coast. The landscape is characterised by open grazing land, drainage channels and wide skies, with the distinctive shingle and scrub of nearby Dungeness not far away; it feels remote yet is within easy reach of larger towns.
Locally the economy is largely agricultural with a modest contribution from tourism and people who commute to places such as Folkestone and Ashford. The parish has historic roots in marshland farming and coastal trade, and the presence of the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway’s nearby halt adds a layer of charm for visitors and rail enthusiasts, while the community remains small and close‑knit.
