Once a small hamlet, Palmarsh is now just a residential suburb of Hythe. It has no apparent historic points of interest - except one.
The Royal Military Canal runs at the back of the houses. At one point, there is a pedestrian bridge.

This one was erected for trial purposes in 1922. A good source on information about them can be found here
