About

Cliftonville East and Kingsgate occupy the northeastern corner of Thanet. The area is defined by its position atop chalk cliffs, with residential streets arranged in a grid pattern leading towards the coastline. Kingsgate is a smaller, distinct neighbourhood centred around a valley that cuts down to the sea, creating a natural bay. The architecture here is a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces alongside more modern developments, reflecting the area's evolution from a 19th-century resort.

The coastline is the dominant feature, with the chalk cliffs punctuated by bays like Stone Bay and the smaller Kingsgate Bay. A notable network of underground tunnels and caverns, originally part of a historic smugglers' route and later a folly, runs through the cliff face here. The grassy clifftop expanses of Foreness Point and the adjacent golf course provide open, windswept spaces with long views across the North Sea.
