The civil parish of Snargate lies on the flat expanses of Romney Marsh in the district of Folkestone and Hythe, in Kent, England. It is a very small, sparsely populated rural area of scattered farms and cottages, characterised by open marshland, drainage dykes and a quiet, low-lying landscape shaped by long-running reclamation and sea-defence work.
Historically tied to grazing and arable farming and to the distinctive folklore of the marshes, including tales of smuggling and coastal trade, the parish today still leans on agriculture while some residents commute to nearby towns or work in tourism and conservation connected with the marshes and coast. The community retains a tight-knit, largely unspoilt character that appeals to walkers and those interested in rural Kentish history.
