Lyminge is a village in southeast Kent which lies about five miles from Folkestone and the Channel Tunnel.
Although many other village centres struggle to survive once a large supermarket is opened in the area, Lyminge still boasts a pub, a school, a post office, a hairdressers, a thriving coffee shop, a grocery store, and many other services. This is largely due to the large elderly population in the village, of whom many do not drive. The sense of community is also felt within the monthly newsletter, paid for by advertisements from local businesses, detailing the various events and clubs within the local area. It also has a outstanding play school which got the highest marks possible in the latest Ofsted report. The Nailbourne stream begins in the village and flows north through the Elham Valley.
Lyminge was named Kent's best village in 1998.
