Guston is a small village just above the town of Dover in Kent, perched on the chalk downs that form part of the famous White Cliffs. From the village you get sweeping views across the English Channel, and its proximity to the ferry port and rail links in Dover gives it an easy connection to the rest of the county and beyond.
Historically a farming community, Guston has long been shaped by its strategic position near Dover, with the local economy and social life linked to port activity, tourism to places like Dover Castle and the cliffs, and a mix of long‑standing rural households and commuters. Today it retains a village feel with local amenities and green chalkland, while also reflecting the broader historical and military layers visible across the Dover area.
