Temple Ewell is a small village and civil parish in the Dour valley a few miles northwest of Dover in Kent, England. It sits beside the River Dour on the chalk slopes below the North Downs, giving the area a wooded, riverside character and easy access to the White Cliffs of Dover and coastal walking routes.
Historically noted for its medieval connection to the Knights Templar, the village retains several historic buildings, a parish church and traditional cottages. The local economy mixes agriculture with commuting to nearby towns and the Port of Dover, while tourism and recreational walking bring occasional visitors; socially it remains a compact, village‑centred community with a quiet, residential feel.
