About

Cliffsend and Pegwell ward encompasses the southeastern edge of the Thanet district, bordering the English Channel. The area includes the historic village of Cliffsend and the coastal hamlet of Pegwell Bay. It is characterised by a mix of residential housing, open farmland, and significant stretches of undeveloped coastline. The ward's landscape is largely defined by its position at the mouth of the River Stour, where it meets the sea.

A notable feature is the large, shallow bay and its extensive mudflats, which are a designated national nature reserve. This environment attracts many bird species and is a site for oyster cultivation. The area contains the replica Viking longship Hugin, commemorating the Saxon Shore. Infrastructure includes the major A256 road and the high-speed rail line connecting to London, running through the ward.
