Greatstone is a village on the coast of Romney Marsh in Kent, England.[1][2] It is east of the town of New Romney and split between the civil parishes of New Romney and Lydd.
Although permission was given for a company to construct large numbers of homes and facilities in the 1920s, only a small number were actually built. There was widespread development in the 1960s and 1970s, however, leading to a sizable community.
