Lympne Castle

Lympne Castle is a stone structure perched on a hill overlooking Romney Marsh with towers at both ends. The building contains multiple rooms available for events and self-catering accommodation for visitors.

The castle was built in the 1080s as a residence for the archdeacons of Canterbury. A major reconstruction in the 1360s reshaped much of its structure and layout.

The castle serves as a wedding and events venue, where its medieval spaces host modern celebrations. Visitors can experience how the historic rooms accommodate contemporary gatherings while maintaining their old character.

The castle is situated near the M20 motorway and is easily accessible by car. Self-catering cottages within the grounds can be rented for longer stays of several days or more.

In 1978, the castle was used as a recording studio where an entire album by a famous band was recorded inside its walls. This musical moment became part of the castle's layered history.
