Swimming: The beach at Hythe is safe for swimming or as an alternative the local 25m swimming pool in Hythe is about 500m away. It nearly always has public swimming with lane ropes for serious swimmers and there are regular fun swims for children in the school holidays
Walking: The Saxon Shore Way runs 160 miles from Gravesend to Hastings (passing close to Hythe) and is named after the line of historic fortifications that defended the Kent coast at the end of the roman era. The Elham Valley Way runs from the historic cathedral city of Canterbury all the way to Hythe through beautiful countryside and the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Cycling: National Cycle Routes 2 and 17 are accessible locally.
