Lyminge is home to the Grade II* listed Sibton Park, now owned by the Holiday Property Bond but previously a school.

There is a wide variety of flora and fauna in the surrounding area, including badgers, various species of deer along with wild boar which are thought to have escaped from farmed populations.

[3] After Edwin was killed at the Battle of Hatfield Chase in 633, Ethelburga returned to Kent to become abbess of a new convent, Lyminge Abbey.

Part of a porticus has been uncovered on the north side of the apse, which may have been where Queen Ethelburga was originally buried, although it is recorded that her remains were moved to Canterbury at a later date.

In December 1953 two inhumation burials were discovered there by workmen working for farming contractors, and subsequent excavations led by Alan Warhurst resulted in the discovery of a 6th-century Jutish cemetery (grid reference TR 1638 4169) containing 44 graves.

The grave assemblages were remarkable, although not unusual for this period, and contained a lot of high status jewellery, weapons such as spear-heads, swords and shield bosses and some rare glass claw beakers of exceptional quality and condition.

There was a major archaeological find in October 2012[6] when the foundations of an Anglo-Saxon feasting hall were excavated on the village green by a team from the University of Reading,[7] led by Gabor Thomas, working with local archaeologists and villagers and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
