Hythe is a member of the Cinque Port federation, Hythe today is a pleasant seaside town. Once a thriving port, the old town, separated from the sea as a result of silting, it now lies 1.5 km inland. This beautiful city with cobbled lanes and streets, is the seat of the Anglican Communion and Kent's premier tourist destination. Ramsgate is a busy maritime centre, with a maritime museum. Parts of the town are conservation areas and it has some fine architecture.
Distances shown are in a direct line.
Distances by road will be longer. Twenty five years of excavation across ancient Dover by the Unit have uncovered 50 major structures. The Museum has a wealth of local and maritime interest and an exhibition of Noel Coward who was once a celebrated resident of St. Margaret's in the early 1950's. Set in seventy acres of beautiful parkland, Howletts is without doubt one of the best wild animal parks in the world. Canterbury's acclaimed new Roman Museum has been specially constructed underground in the excavated Roman levels below the Longmarket Shopping Centre.
