Kingsdown Holidays

Everybody loves UK holidays and that means gorgeous spots like Kingsdown, just south of Deal in Kent. There's not a much going on in Kingsdown, which is all part of its charm. On the main Upper Street, you'll find a butcher’s, a hairdresser's, three pubs, a paper shop and a post office. On the cliff tops, there's a golf club and, nearby, you'll find Kingsdown Woods, maintained by the National Trust. Kingsdown is located at the northern end of the White cliffs of Dover. Here, you're deep into white cliffs country and you can walk the cliffs from Dover to Deal, while straining your eyes to see France. Cyclists on holiday in Kingsdown will enjoy the three-mile seafront cycle track, while historians will want to visit nearby Deal and Walmer, which each have Tudor castles supported by English Heritage. Deal's many old buildings include The Timeball Tower Museum, featuring a ball dropped at specific times by an electrical signal sent directly from Greenwich.
