Stanford is a small village in the district of Folkestone and Hythe on the edge of Kent, England. Tucked against the sweeping flatlands of the Romney Marsh and not far from the Kent coast, it has the feel of a rural settlement with easy access to the seaside towns of Folkestone and Hythe and the transport links that serve the area.
Historically agricultural with marshland roots and a past touched by coastal trade and smuggling folklore, Stanford today mixes farming with a commuter population and modest tourism drawn to walking, birdwatching and the nearby Royal Military Canal; a small cluster of traditional cottages and local amenities gives it a quiet, community-centred character while residents often travel to larger towns for work and services.
