Hythe Holidays

Quintessential UK holidays are back and that means that wonderful holiday spots like Hythe in Kent are cool again. Stay in holiday lodges, holiday parks or holiday cottages around Hythe and you'll feel like you've truly stepped back in time, perhaps as far as the 11th century, from when St Leonard's Church, which overlooks the town, dates. Today, on your UK holiday in Hythe, you can hire a rowing boat and meander up the Royal Military Canal, also the venue for fly-fishers looking for well-stocked water. For sun-worshippers, there's a beautiful beach at Hythe. Hythe is one of the Cinque Ports, one of five historic coastal towns where the crossing to France is narrowest. Originally created for trade purposes, it's now purely a vanity label, but one that does give the town a certain cultural flair.  

 

On a holiday in Hythe you'll notice a unique atmosphere on the High Street. There's a real UK holidays feel here, with specialist shops, restaurants, tearooms, wine bars and quaint, ancient pubs. Fans of steam trains will enjoy the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway station, featuring the smallest steam railway in the world. From here, a short ride across Romney Marsh takes you to Dungeness. At nearby Saltwood, the Brockhill Country Park is worth exploring, with its many acres of footpaths through woodland and around lakes. On holiday in Hythe, you might also enjoy a jaunt to the Port Lympne Wild Animal Park and Mansion, a safari park offering a wild day out among Siberian and Indian tigers, African elephants, small cats, monkeys, Barbary lions and the largest breeding herd of Black Rhinos outside Africa. More tamely, St Leonard's Church Crypt displays 2000 medieval skulls and 8000 thigh bones that predate the Norman Conquest.
