Nonington is a small rural parish in the district of Dover in Kent, south‑east England, lying inland between Canterbury and the Channel ports. The area is characterised by rolling farmland and chalk downland on the fringes of the Kent Downs AONB, with quiet lanes, hedgerows and a scattering of hamlets rather than a single large settlement.
Locally the community revolves around a historic village church and the old manor of Nonington Court; the economy remains largely agricultural with many residents commuting to nearby towns. It’s known for its peaceful village life, network of footpaths popular with walkers and occasional village events rather than any heavy industry or large commercial centres.
