The site is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a Special Landscape Area - part of the Heritage Coast and a Site of Specific Scientific Interest.

The pretty seaside village of Kingsdown, approximately one mile to the north, is a former fishing village and offers a range of leisure activities. In the village there is a small selection of shops and amenities including a post office, newsagent, hairdresser, butcher, public houses, restaurant/tearooms, Church of St. John and primary school. A wider range of amenities can be found at Deal, Sandwich and the historic City of Canterbury, which offers a wider range of shopping facilities, many historic interests, and a good selection of schools in the state and private sectors, together with colleges and universities.

Recreational activities in and around the area include a selection of golf courses including Walmer and Kingsdown golf clubs neighbouring the property, Prince’s at Deal and the prestigious Royal St George’s at Sandwich. Sports centres and swimming pools can be found in Dover, Deal and Canterbury, and water sports can be found along the coast.
