The Hythe Rural ward sits on the rural hinterland around the coastal town of Hythe in the district of Folkestone and Hythe, Kent, England. It combines rolling farmland, patches of ancient woodland and the distinctive low‑lying marshes and drainage channels edging Romney Marsh, with easy access to the coast and nearby features such as the historic Royal Military Canal and the miniature Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway.
Locally the ward comprises small villages and hamlets, parish churches and a scattering of manor houses, with an economy rooted in agriculture, local services and tourism while many residents commute to neighbouring towns. Heritage is visible in medieval coastal‑defence links and nearby Saltwood Castle, and community life tends to revolve around village halls, parish events and a strong emphasis on conserving the area's rural character.
