Eythorne, Dover, CT15 4AJ

Eythorne is a civil parish and small village located 7.3 miles north‑northwest of Dover in Kent, with a combined population of approximately 2,500 residents including nearby villages Barfrestone and Elvington. Although not classed as one of the former pit villages of Kent, it was only about a mile from Tilmanstone – which closed in 1986. Today many of its residents commute to work in Dover, Deal and Canterbury. The village offers a rural setting with close proximity to the coast, and the surrounding area includes other small communities that contribute to a sense of local cohesion. Residents benefit from a modest population size, which can foster a tight‑knit community atmosphere, while still being within reasonable distance of larger towns for employment and services.
