The Walland & Denge Marsh ward sits on the edge of the coastal shingle headland and flat grazing marshes in the district of Folkestone and Hythe in Kent, England. It takes in parts of the remote Dungeness shoreline and the open expanses of Romney Marsh, giving the area a distinctive, windswept character that contrasts sharply with much of the county.
Historically shaped by reclamation, fishing and military use, the ward is notable for its nature conservation interest and birdwatching, while power station and communications infrastructure sit alongside low-density farming. Small settlements and scattered farms mean a quiet, close-knit rural community where tourism, conservation and energy-related activity play an outsized role in the local economy and culture.
