“The Romney Marsh is an amazing place to visit.  I have great childhood memories of family days out on the wide sandy beach of Greatstone, paddling in the warm shallow sea, making sand castles and finding myself put in a freshly dug hole by my Dad.  Also at Dungeness, climbing to the top of the old lighthouse, looking out over the shingle peninsula.  Since catching the trekking bug, the Romney Marsh has become my favourite place for walks all year round.  Along the way, I have discovered the flat, wide open marsh land away from the seaside, the ruins of long lost villages and the history and legends of this unique, gift from the sea.”

As part of the Romney Marsh feature, A Walk in the Garden Winter issue will have an in-depth interview with Dungeness Lifeboat Station. Find out about the work of the Romney Marsh Countryside Project and how they help maintain and promote the area.

In addition to an interview with Folkestone & Hythe MP, Damian Collins, a great article on the Romney Hythe & Dymcuch Light Railway – find out about the history and steam engines of this fun family day out.
