We have always loved living in this unique environment and will always retain our links to the area, however we now need to move nearer our family. St Margaret at Cliffe is a friendly village and includes a post office, village shop, bars and restaurants, a holiday park and stables while the primary school is rated Outstanding by Ofsted.
For regular commuters we are not far from Martin Mill and Dover for the mainline station and high speed rail to London and Dover and Folkestone for access to the Continent. We can walk down to St Margaret's Bay or stroll along to the Dover Patrol Memorial and there are also wonderful walks to the South Foreland Lighthouse – the first in the world to have electric light.
