St.Margaret's at Cliffe


When I lived in Deal Kent my brother and I would drive down and park right near the picture above and walk along this beach. You can already can see the white cliffs that follow through to Dover. My brother and I would love walking around this quaint village. It was almost as though a person is transported back to the 1930's . The houses vary in style and yet this a little piece of tranquility.
During the second world war most of it's residence were moved out and the military moved in. There are places still there, left from the war my brother and I came across a almost like tunnel that went for miles. We did not go to far into it. It was like a underground motorway, although much smaller in size.
There were four guns stationed there, Winnie and Pooh and Jane and Clem. These were there to protect England from the Germans.
Noel Coward and Ian Fleming lived in this quaint village . It even has a windmill which was bought to generate electricity in 1929 and since then this village has done it's part to make this world a greener place.
My Brother and I loved this village. So if you are ever on your way from Deal to Dover take a drive to St. Margaret's Bay. Maybe like my brother and I you will be captivated back into time and see just the true beauty of this kentish village.
Wishing you lots of Tasty English Delights
There's always room for one more.
