Woodnesborough is a small village and civil parish in the district of Dover, in the county of Kent, England. It sits a short distance inland from Sandwich Bay, surrounded by arable farmland and marshes that give way to the low-lying coastal landscape; the village feels typically rural but is within easy reach of nearby towns.
Historically the name is thought to mean “Woden’s hill”, echoing ancient Anglo-Saxon roots, and the settlement retains a compact core of older buildings and a medieval parish church. Its local life has long been shaped by agriculture and by links with nearby maritime and market centres such as Sandwich and the historic Cinque Ports area, with Roman remains at Richborough and larger centres like Canterbury within commuting distance. Community activities and village amenities keep it a quietly social place rather than a tourist hub.
