St. Margaret's at Cliffe is a small village and civil parish perched on the famous White Cliffs of Dover in Kent, looking out over the English Channel with clear views across to France. It sits just a few miles from Dover and the busy Port of Dover, so the dramatic coastal landscape sits alongside a tangible sense of cross-Channel movement and maritime history.
The village has an ancient parish church and a wartime legacy of cliff-top defences and searchlights, while nearby South Foreland lighthouse and stretches of chalk grassland attract walkers and wildlife enthusiasts. The local economy is a mix of tourism, small-scale farming and commuting to larger towns, and conservation groups play a big role in preserving the cliffs and habitats that make the area so striking.
