Lydd-on-Sea is a modern village, mostly built after WWII, which consists mainly of bungalows built along the Dungeness coastal road south of Greatstone, Kent, England. The Southern Railway opened a railway station here in 1937, but this was closed in 1967.

An island in a lake slightly to the north west of Lydd-on-Sea is home to a collection of sound mirrors designed by Dr William Sansome Tucker, to detect the approach of enemy aircraft, in the years before RADAR had been developed.
