About

Cheriton sits on the northern fringe of Folkestone town, arranged around a local high street and residential streets that climb toward the North Downs escarpment. Folkestone Central railway station is on the Ashford–Dover line and gives the neighbourhood regular rail links; community facilities include a primary school, shops and a community hall. The chalk scarp of the North Downs rises immediately behind the streets, with parts of the North Downs Way and access points within a short walk, so the hillside ridge is a frequent backdrop to daily routes through the area.

A short distance north of Cheriton, Horn Street is a small grouping of lanes, farms and converted farm buildings set in working agricultural land. The pattern of narrow country lanes and bridleways draws quiet traffic and local walkers rather than heavy vehicles. Farms here still run seasonal cropping and livestock, and several properties face views back toward the escarpment. Road connections from Horn Street and Cheriton link to the wider district via local A roads, making the pair of settlements a mix of town edge and countryside within Folkestone and Hythe.
