Lived in dymchurch for 37 years and moved away 2 years ago, never fully appreciated it until now and I really miss it, used to take that little railway to school every day when I was younger which was an experience I won't forget.

Hi, Jack. Nice video! I was born in Dymchurch and grew up there. You asked for things you missed. If you carry on past the Methodist church for 5 mins you get to the Norman Church (where I was baptised). A minute further and you'll see another pub called the Ship (good food, I hear). The village carries on for another 3 miles (mostly) along the coast to a mini-fortress called the Redoubt, next to Hythe Ranges. I don't know about ostriches, but halfway towards the Redoubt there's a llama farm at Burmarsh Corner. I have bitter-sweet memories of the Little Train; it's fun for a day trip but I had to commute to school on it for 6 years - very cold and damp in February! Lastly, the Day of Syn display you saw is to promote the "Day of Syn", a village festival that takes place on August Bank Holiday every other year: smugglers and revenue men parade through the village etc. It started in 1964 to celebrate a set of books about a vicar-turned-smuggler called Dr Syn, written by Russell Thorndyke, which also got turned into a couple of films (one by Disney!) and a TV series. All the characters in the books are named after people buried in the churchyard. The next one is later this year (2024). Happy travelling!

I grew up visiting Dymchurch most weekends, staying in Mum & Dads caravan. Many years later I bought a home there, lovely neighbours, bar one who made our lives a misery. Unfortunately she also sat on the Parish council, which is run like some kind of feudal fiefdom, they also seemed to be related. Our face didn’t fit so we gave up & sold up and moved 1.5 miles further up the road to St Mary’s Bay and had no such problems there.

We had a caravan a couple of miles out of Dymchurch and used to walk into Dymchurch along the sea wall, Loved the place. No Macdonald's, Lidl or anything like that which is a blessing. Days of Syn is well worth a weekend trip.

I nearly drowned at Dymchurch about 70 years ago. The tide goes out miles and I went out with it, but I was happy out there and didn't start back until it was too late. The chap that got me back to safety just disappeared without waiting for Thanks from Mum. I've been there many, many times since but never in the sea!!

Hi Jack! Great vlog. I live 10 minutes away from Dymchurch, it can get quite busy in school half term and hoilday season. The Romney Hythe & Dymchurch Railway normally closed in the winter time, it open in half term and weekends. Dungeness it's know for it's pebbles, lighthouse and the power station. It has some very lovely cottages and 2 restaurants called The Pilot Inn, which you go past on the train and also Britannia Inn. Hope this has help.

Hi Ryan thanks for your comment and for the info. I must say I’m fascinated by Dungeness and wanted to do a video on it a few months ago but it turns out you have to get permission and pay a fee to do it! But I might try those restaurants even if I don’t film a video😌cheers again

Nice video. I joined one of those heritage sites a few months back. All my paternal relatives from my Great grandfather who moved to Greenwich ,London ,as far back as I've got to the early 1800s are in the Romney Marsh area . Great Great Grandfather married in the church in Dymchurch... The Census records him and his family living in a village called Orgarswick ,I think Dymchurch swallowed it up as I can only find a street of that name! They were all agricultural workers...he went on to be a tenant farmer in the village of Newchurch more inland. All sheepfarming I believe. I still live in London.

The Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway the smallest public steam railway in the world. Runs round the coast from Hythe to Dungeness. Insummer Londoners descend to Newbeach caravan park. Dymchurch is full. The railway is perfect. It is maintained mostly by volunteers. We go every year. The Queen opened it in the 50s. The fairground is perfect size for families. Safe and fun. You missed out visiting off season. Also the towers of dungeness are nuclear power stations.

Grew up and live here. Quiet in winter and busy in summer with visitors. It’s very seasonal. The station is mainly open in summer and for tourists, runs from Hythe to Dungeness and runs through the Marsh at the back. It’s the smallest running railway in the world. Beware of the gulls, have seen them fly down and snap an entire cod straight out of your hand. They dive bomb 🤣

The last haircut i had, the hairdresser a Londoner was telling me how he'd moved down ,in recent years, to Dymchurch! He was saying how great it was and how friendly people were. He got on so well with his neighbours, they were going on holiday together! The wife of the couple was Norwegian and they were all going to visit Norway together! Then he said,...you don't get that in london, ..do you!😅!? 👍

Great video, looks like you chose a very quiet day. The railway runs every day during the summer months, between Hythe and Dungeness with lots of stations in between, and then weekends plus days re: half term, Halloween, Christmas Santa train, valentine etc. I can hear it from my Garden. The city of london pub has now just recently reopened. And the fun fair closes after October half term until Easter. You need to return on a hot summers day, it’s totally rammed.
