Location
St. Margaret's Bay 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, primary school, post office, a number of pubs and stunning picturesque rural scenery. The beach at St. Margaret's Bay, just a three-minute drive from Oxney Court, 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, also just a short drive away from the estate grounds. Links to the Continent are excellent with ferry services from the Port of Dover, together with Shuttle services via the Channel Tunnel and the Eurostar service from Ashford International. There are several high-ranking schools nearby to Oxney Court, including King’s School in Canterbury, St Edmunds Catholic School in Dover, Duke of York Royal Military School in Dover and also Dover College.
