Hythe, Market town in Kent, England
The Royal Military Canal intersects the center of Hythe, extending for 28 miles and featuring walking paths along its banks for recreational activities.
Hythe served as one of the original Cinque Ports, a confederation of coastal towns responsible for maintaining ships to defend England during medieval times.
The Saxon and Norman church stands on a hill overlooking the town, containing an ossuary with a collection of human bones and skulls.
The Farmers' Market operates on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month, offering local produce, fish, meats, and baked goods from regional vendors.
The town maintains military ranges along its shoreline, where red flags indicate active training periods and restrict public access to certain coastal areas.
