Neighborhood info

Southeast Kent's Lyminge village is located on a road that travels through the Elham Valley and is only five miles from Folkestone and the Channel Tunnel. Ancient woodlands and fields surround Lyminge. In the vicinity, there is a diverse range of vegetation, animals, and wildlife, including badgers, different types of deer, and wild boar that are suspected to have escaped from farmed populations. It is a bustling community with many small businesses, a pub that serves fantastic food and frequently holds events, a coffee shop, a hair salon, and a library. Being the oldest structure in the community, the parish church is well worth a visit. It has a long and interesting history and has been standing since 633 AD. In recent years, Lyminge has been the subject of numerous archaeological excavations, during which jewellery, weaponry, and glassware have all been found. Why not pack a picnic, dust off the metal detector, and go off to explore old woodland and see if you can find a piece of the past? Numerous footpaths and bridleways crisscross the meadows and woodlands around this delightful section of Kent. Lyminge is ideally positioned for excursions to the seashore and old cities. You can be relaxing on a beach listening to waves crashing against the shore or meandering along cobblestone streets admiring Canterbury Cathedral in less than 20 minutes. Why not spend a day exploring Belgium or France when the Channel Tunnel is only five miles away? You can browse for cheese, wine, and chocolates, stroll along the Seine, eat outside at a cute small café, and still make it back home before sunset. a fantastic vacation spot.
