Lydd is one of the larger towns on the Romey Marsh in Kent. It was originally an island, separated from Romney by the Rother estuary.
The church, one of the biggest in Kent, is known as the "Cathedral of the Marsh". It was largely rebuilt in the 13th century, but the 132 foot tower is 15th century. The East End was destroyed by bombing in World War II but has now been restored.
Notable buildings in Lydd include a guildhall and a mediaeval courthouse. There is one pub in the town called the Royal Mail.
South-west of the town is a military training camp and firing range, set up in 1881, where the Lyddite explosive was invented.
To the north-east is Lydd Airport, opened in 1954 for transporting motor vehicles. Now known as London Ashford Airport, it is used mainly for private, light commercial and training flights and there is a daily scheduled service to Le Touquet.
Lydd-on-Sea is a modern village mostly built after the 2nd World War. It lies on the coast road between Greatstone and Dungeness. It consists mostly of modern bungalows. There is one pub, The Pilot, famous for its fish. Remote Dungeness is known for its lighthouses, shingle and nuclear power stations.
