About

Swalecliffe is a coastal ward situated north of Canterbury, directly bordering the Thames Estuary. The area primarily consists of residential housing, with a mix of post-war estates and some older properties. Its coastline is defined by a long shingle beach and a prominent sea wall, which serves as a key flood defence. The local economy is largely residential, with several small shops and services catering to the community along the main roads.

A central feature is the Swalecliffe Brook, which runs through the ward and empties into the sea. The area includes the Swalecliffe Marine Conservation Zone, protecting important intertidal habitats. Recreational space is provided by the Memorial Recreation Ground and the sports facilities at Swalecliffe Park. The Whitstable to Herne Bay seafront path passes through, used by walkers and cyclists. The railway line to London runs along its southern boundary, with a station serving the community.
