About

Dumpton is a residential area situated between the larger towns of Broadstairs and Ramsgate. The neighbourhood consists mainly of post-war housing, with some older Victorian properties closer to the coast. Its streets are quiet, with local shops and schools serving the community.

The area is defined by its elevated position on the Thanet plateau, offering distant sea views from some points. A notable local feature is the Dumpton Gap, a narrow access point with steps leading down to a small, sheltered sandy bay. This provides a direct, if steep, route to the coastline.
