Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway
Half Mile Curve
The footpath through the Shrubs between Church Lane and Dunes Road crosses a stretch of the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway known as Half Mile Curve. The line between Hythe and New Romney opened in 1927, and the Dungeness extension, of which this is part, in 1928. Originally there were two tracks here, but after the Second World War the line between New Romney and Dungeness was singled.
A short distance to the north, parallel to the RH&DR, is the course of the South Eastern Railway standard gauge branch line from Appledore to New Romney, which was closed in 1967.
