The Rother Levels are an area of reclaimed land around the lower course of the River Rother on the Kent - East Sussex border. At one time the sea occupied the area, but gradually the area silted up and over time was drained and reclaimed. The Isle of Oxney sits in the middle of the levels.

The Romney Marsh sheep has become one of the most successful and important breeds of sheep. Their main characteristic is an ability to feed in wet situations; they are considered to be more resistant to foot rot and internal parasites than any other breed. Romney sheep have been exported globally, in particular to Australia, to where they were first exported in 1872.
