Lympne is a small village in the district of Folkestone and Hythe in Kent, England, lying on the edge of the Romney Marsh near the south coast. It sits between Folkestone and Ashford, and feels distinctly rural thanks to surrounding farmland and salt marshes while being within easy reach of larger transport links.
The village is best known for historic Lympne Castle and the former RAF Lympne aerodrome, which played a notable role in early civil aviation and during the Second World War; the nearby Port Lympne wildlife reserve adds to local tourism. The local economy mixes agriculture, hospitality and commuter households, and the area is popular with walkers and visitors wanting a quiet coastal and marshland landscape with a strong sense of local history.
