Northbourne is a small rural civil parish and village in the district of Dover, in Kent, England, set amid rolling chalk downland and arable farmland that help give the county its "Garden of England" reputation. It lies a short drive from the coastal towns of Deal and Sandwich, with quiet lanes, hedgerows and open views that on clear days reach towards the coast.
Local history and character are shaped by the landed estate centred on Northbourne Park, a listed country house now noted for its preparatory school and gardens, and the barony associated with the estate. Economic life is largely agricultural with a handful of small businesses and commuters using nearby ports and towns; the village retains an intimate community feel, an historic parish church and several listed buildings that reflect its long rural heritage.
