Martin Mill is a small village located near to the Dover Downs Racetrack, and is home to the only surviving windmill in east Kent, Martin Mill Windmill. Shepherdswell with Coldred lies to the east of Dover and Dale Hill is to its west. It is a civil parish and boasts a range of local amenities, such as well regarded schools, pubs and a selection of independent shops.

St Margaret's at Cliffe is a coastal village situated east of Dover, close to the renowned White Cliffs.
