Alkham and Capel-le-Ferne sit on the western edge of Dover in Kent, with a dramatic meeting of chalk downland and coastal cliff. Capel-le-Ferne perches above the English Channel and looks out over the celebrated White Cliffs of Dover, while Alkham nestles in a quiet chalk valley of farmland and woodlands, giving the area a strong rural character and wide sea views.
Locally the community mixes agriculture with commuter households and a modest tourism trade centred on cliff-top walks and memorials such as the Battle of Britain Memorial; historic flint churches, village halls and traditional pubs help keep village life close-knit. Conservation of chalk grassland and the area's wartime and Maritime connections add interest for visitors and residents alike.
