Beachborough Park

Secure site in a walled field on a historic Kent country estate
A 10-minute drive from the Channel Tunnel; 15 minutes to Dover's port
Country park, pubs and a beach a short drive away

Hunting down Kent’s seaside promenades and buzzy harbours? Perhaps you're sidling down this way to see Dover’s white cliffs? Or to picnic away the day on the beach? Whatever you’ve got planned, Beachborough Park is a good place to knuckle down into the Kent coast and countryside while staying in a secure and safe walled two-acre field on a peaceful historic country estate with rural scenery all around. Here, you’ll be just 10 minutes’ drive away from the Channel Tunnel and 20 minutes from Dover (just 15 minutes from the port itself), so those of you who are just stopping by on the way to another place will be well-based for your next course of action. There’s much to do from this site, whether you’re down for a full-on break or a brief visit. At the foot of the North Downs and in the scenic Kent countryside, there are many walking trails nearby. The nearest beach is 10 minutes’ drive away too and Folkestone Harbour – full of food stands and a snazzy spot for bars or seasonal events – is 15 minutes’ drive away. Pubs deliver on the promise of good grub here and handily, there are a few within five minutes’ drive of the site. When it comes to the nibbles and essentials, Folkestone also has supermarkets five minutes’ drive away too.
