Newington is a small rural civil parish in the district of Folkestone and Hythe, in Kent, England, lying just inland from the south‑east coast close to Hythe and the low‑lying Romney Marsh. The landscape blends arable farmland and pasture with nearby marshland and the historic defensive feature of the Royal Military Canal, giving the area a quietly scenic, agricultural character.
Historically the settlement has medieval roots and retains a village church and scattered farmsteads; the local economy remains largely agricultural with some residents commuting to Folkestone, Ashford or Dover for work. Community life reflects rural rhythms, with long‑standing local families, small businesses and newcomers drawn to quieter village living within easy reach of the coast and larger towns.
