Despite its rural setting, the area benefits from excellent road connections, making the nearest towns easily accessible: Deal lies six miles to the east, Dover six miles to the south, and Sandwich seven miles to the north, with the A256, A2, and A20 linking into the motorway network. The nearest railway station is at Martin Mill, approximately 3.5 miles away, with additional stations at Walmer and Deal, all offering regular coastal services and connections to the high-speed link to London St Pancras. The Port of Dover boasts a popular marina and provides cross-Channel ferry services to the Continent.
