What to do on a family or couple's hot tub break in Newchurch
Newchurch stands as one of Romney Marsh's most authentic villages. The 13th-century Church of St Peter and St Paul dominates the skyline and the surrounding landscape remains largely unchanged for centuries. Sheep still outnumber people here.
The village makes an ideal base for hot tub stays because you get genuine seclusion without being isolated from attractions. Rye sits just 6 miles north whilst Dungeness lies 8 miles south. You can book dog friendly cottages to rent and explore the marsh's network of footpaths or choose coastal cottages near the beaches at Camber and Dymchurch.
Sightseeing in Newchurch

The area surrounding Newchurch offers remarkable variety. You'll find medieval towns, nature reserves, heritage railways and dramatic coastline all within a short drive of your cottage with hot tub.
Rye
This hilltop town ranks among England's best preserved medieval settlements. Cobbled streets wind past timber-framed houses and the 12th-century St Mary's Church offers panoramic marsh views. Independent shops and galleries fill the historic buildings whilst excellent restaurants serve locally caught fish.
Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway
The world's smallest public railway runs 13.5 miles from Hythe to Dungeness. Steam locomotives pull passengers through the marsh landscape and the journey takes about an hour. You can hop on and off at stations along the route to explore different villages.
Dungeness
This vast shingle headland creates an otherworldly landscape. The nuclear power station and lighthouses stand against endless sky whilst wooden fishing huts dot the beach. Derek Jarman's famous garden demonstrates what grows in this harsh environment and the RSPB reserve protects rare birds and plants.
Camber Sands
Kent's only sand dune system stretches for miles along the coast. The beach offers safe swimming and the dunes provide shelter from wind. Kitesurfers use the consistent breezes whilst families appreciate the shallow waters and soft sand.
Smallhythe Place
This 16th-century timber-framed house was home to Victorian actress Ellen Terry. The National Trust property displays theatrical costumes and memorabilia whilst the cottage garden blooms throughout summer. The building itself demonstrates traditional Wealden construction methods.
