Location Summary
St. Margaret's is situated on the South East coast between Dover and Deal. The charming village has several local shops, a 12th century parish church, village hall, post office, a number of pubs and stunning picturesque rural scenery. The beach at St. Margaret's Bay is famous for being the closest point to France and is consequently where most Channel swimmers begin their marathon 21-mile swim. The white chalk cliffs above the bay are said to be the first place the sun reaches each morning on mainland Britain and offering some delightful walks. There are golf courses at nearby Kingsdown and Deal with St George's at Sandwich, a British Open venue. Communications links are excellent with the nearby A2 providing access to the M2 and the A20 at Dover links to the M20. Martin Mill railway station is on the same line as the HS1 high-speed service to London St Pancras.
