Eythorne is a small village in the district of Dover, in the county of Kent, England, sitting on gently rolling chalk farmland on the northern edge of the North Downs. It lies a short drive inland from the Channel coast and the White Cliffs of Dover, and is closely connected with nearby settlements such as Aylesham and Shepherdswell, while larger centres like Canterbury are within easy commuting distance.
Historically a rural community that later felt the influence of the 20th‑century Kent coalfield in the area, Eythorne retains a visible nonconformist and Methodist heritage with several chapels and a lively village scene centred on local clubs, a village hall and a primary school. Today it combines a peaceful, rural character with commuters who work in nearby towns, enjoyed by walkers and people seeking an accessible slice of East Kent countryside.
