From the Wikipedia article
Lyminge is a village and civil parish in southeast Kent, England. It lies about five miles (8 km) from Folkestone and the Channel Tunnel, on the road passing through the Elham Valley. At the 2011 Census the population of Etchinghill was included. The Nailbourne begins in the village and flows north through the valley, to become one of the tributaries of the Great Stour. The hamlet of Ottinge lies to the NE on the road to Elham. Lyminge is home to the Grade II* listed Sibton Park, now owned by the Holiday Property Bond but previously a school. The village is surrounded by farmland and ancient forests. There is a wide variety of flora and fauna in the surrounding area, including badgers and various species of deer, along with wild boar, which are thought to have escaped from farms. Lyminge was a royal centre of the Kingdom of Kent of Anglo-Saxon England and a church was founded in 633.
