Fact one: New Romney was once a major port. Seriously. Ships sailed right into town. Then a huge storm in 1287 filled the harbour with mud. Now it’s a holiday park. That’s karma.

Fact two: Romney Marsh is famous for its smugglers. In the 1700s, they hid barrels of brandy in the dunes. You might find a smuggler’s tunnel. Or just a lost flip-flop. Both are exciting.
Fact three: The Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway chugs right past the park. It’s a miniature train that looks like a toy. It’s not a toy. It’s a tiny, powerful locomotive. You can wave at it. It might wave back.
What to Do (When You’re Tired of Sunbathing)
Go crabbing on the harbour wall. You need a line, a bucket, and a bit of bacon. The crabs are tiny and grumpy. They’re hilarious.
Visit the Lighthouse at Dungeness. It’s a massive black and white stripe. You can climb it. The view is a pancake-flat marsh and a nuclear power station. Beautiful in a weird way.
Eat fish and chips on the beach. The seagulls will stare at you. They have zero manners. Guard your chips. They are the mafia of the coast.
