Rhodes Minnis is a small, mainly rural village in the district of Folkestone and Hythe in Kent, England. Its name reflects local history: "minnis" is a Kentish term for common pasture, and the village sits close to the chalk slopes of the Kent Downs, with hedgerows, small woods and farmland typical of the North Downs landscape.
Today it retains a quiet, village atmosphere, with a mix of farming, small local businesses and commuter households who travel to nearby towns such as Folkestone, Dover and Canterbury. Its proximity to countryside walking routes and areas of chalk grassland makes it popular with walkers and those looking for a peaceful base in the Kentish countryside.
