Greatstone At the seaward end of Dunes Road, the "Jolly Fisherman" pub marks the heart of Greatstone, which lies at the centre of the residential development stretching along the coast from Littlestone to Lydd-on-Sea. Before the sea receded Greatstone marked the southern shore of the entrance to Romney harbour. Like Camber, it has extensive sand dunes covered with marram grass, which provide a haitat for a variety of wildlife. In 1937 the Southern Railway opened a station near here on its New Romney branch, but the line closed in 1967. There is still a Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway station serving "Romney Sands" holiday camp. Nearby can be seen the concrete remains of the experimental sound reflectors put up by the War Department during the 1930s.
