Retirement Properties Spotlight in Aldington

Aldington was mentioned in Domesday as Aldintone and then had a church, three fisheries and three mills and was probably first settled by the Saxons in the fifth century. It lies on the hills to the north of Romney Marsh between Hythe and Ashford in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the church tower has long been a useful navigation point. There really are two halves to the village with the area around the old church and its buildings including the remains of one the Archbishop of Canterbury's palaces and the rest of the village about a mile away on top of the hill where there are beautiful views towards the sea.
