Map of the UK

Worth is a small, largely rural parish in the district of Dover, tucked into the rolling farmland of Kent in England. It sits a few miles inland from the coast and Dover town, with open views across chalk downland and, on clearer days, towards the White Cliffs of Dover and the English Channel.

The community is quiet and close‑knit, with agriculture still an important part of the local economy alongside a modest number of commuters travelling to nearby Dover or Canterbury. There is a historic village core with traditional cottages and a long‑standing parish church, and the area is popular for walkers thanks to the network of public footpaths and the general appeal of Kentish countryside and coastal scenery.
