About hythe...

Hythe is one of the famous historic Cinque Ports.  Its impressive historic Parish Church, St. Leonard's, famous for its ossuary, and old houses in the narrow hilly streets above the town, contrast with the spacious promenade overlooking the vast expanse of safe bathing and fishing beaches.

Renowned in the past for its Cinque Port Fleet, providing ships for king and country, fishing boats still come in every day bringing fresh fish that can be purchased at Fisherman's Beach.

In our High Street and surrounding areas shops large and small will attract you with their choice and courtesy as will the numerous selection of hotels, restaurants and pubs attract you with their quality accommodation, food and drink.

Recreational facilities to suit all tastes are to be found in and around Hythe - golf, tennis, bowls, swimming and boating, or for the less energetic take a stroll along the banks of the Royal Military Canal or a ride on the world's smallest public railway.
