Saltwood is a village and civil parish[2] in the Folkestone and Hythe District of Kent, England.

Saltwood is located immediately to the north of Hythe on the high land looking over the Romney Marsh.

Saltwood Castle,[3] once a possession of the Archbishops of Canterbury,[4] is located here, having been assigned to them by a deed of 1026 (now in the British Museum) signed by such leading figures as King Canute and Earl Godwin.

For about ten years it remained possible to follow the course of the line, but the entire site has now been redeveloped with new houses.

The Castle Hotel was first licensed as a public house in 1890 by the local Mackeson's Brewery, although there is evidence that beer was sold on the site for some time before that date.
