More about this scene
Lympne is a very ancient place indeed, and stands on a hilly scarp overlooking Romney Marsh. The Victorian art critic John Ruskin loved to walk the breezy heights here. Nearby are the ruins of a Roman fort, a medieval castle and a church, and there is a still-extant Roman road. The Roman fort once enclosed several acres of coastal land and must have been a powerful stronghold for the occupying army. The pub seen here was, and still is, much-used on this busy but pleasant route. H G Wells set part of his story 'The First Men in the Moon' in Lympne.
