Kingsdown is a village immediately to the south of Walmer, itself south of Deal, on the English Channel coast of Kent. There is also a West Kingsdown in Kent. There is a butcher shop, a hairdresser, a newsagent and a post office on the main Upper Street. There is also a large expanse which used to be a scout camp, and a golf course.

[edit] Geography

Kingsdown is located at the northern end of the White cliffs of Dover; the village itself sits below the cliff, with some outlying buildings and a holiday camp on top or midway up.
