About

Buckland is a residential ward situated along the western bank of the River Dour as it approaches Dover's harbour. The area is primarily characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, with a mix of later infill developments. Its main thoroughfare is Buckland Avenue, which runs parallel to the railway line connecting to Dover Priory station. The ward's topography slopes noticeably upwards from the river valley, offering views across the town centre towards the Western Heights fortifications.

A notable local landmark is the Buckland Paper Mill, a historic site on the river that has been redeveloped for modern use. The ward contains several small green spaces, including Pencester Gardens near its border. Community life centres on local shops and services along lower Buckland Avenue and the nearby Dover District Leisure Centre. The area provides direct pedestrian access to Dover town centre via the Ladywell bridge over the Dour.
