Kingsdown is an old fishing village, situated at the northern end of the White Cliffs of Dover and is served by the village church of St John The Evangelist and a regular Stagecoach bus service to Walmer railway station. From here, there is a direct service to London, including a high speed link to London St Pancras. Kingsdown beach and the downs are designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and are an important habitat for migrating birds and insects and home to numerous rare plants.
Kingsdown has numerous local public footpaths and lies on both the Saxon Shore Way and the White Cliffs Country Trail, whilst Kingsdown Golf Course is just half a mile from mthe property. The section of National Cycle Route 1 known as the Cliffs and Castles route runs through Kingsdown on its way from Dover to Sandwich, whilst a flat, purpose-built cycleway leads north from the outskirts of the village along the beach to Deal.
The nearby town of Deal is a popular seaside town which lies eight miles north-east of Dover and eight miles south of Ramsgate. It is a former fishing, mining and garrison town. Close to Deal is Walmer, steeped in history, and a possible location for Julius Caesar's first arrival in Britain.
Deal became a 'limb port' of the Cinque Ports in 1278, and grew into the busiest port in England; today it is a seaside resort and its quaint streets and houses are a reminder of its history along with many ancient buildings and monuments. In 1968, Middle Street was the first Conservation Area in Kent. The coast of France is approximately twenty five miles from the town and is visible on clear days. The impressive Tudor castle was commissioned by King Henry VIII and has an unusual rose shaped floor plan.
