About

Whitfield ward is situated on the northern outskirts of Dover, primarily consisting of residential developments and local retail services. The area is dominated by post-war housing estates, with a mix of detached homes, terraces, and some modern apartment complexes. Its main commercial hub is located along Honeywood Road, providing essential shops and community facilities for residents. The ward is bordered by the A2 road, which serves as a major transport link connecting it to the town centre and the wider road network.

The landscape includes areas of open grassland and playing fields, with the Lydden and Temple Ewell Downs lying to the northwest. A notable local feature is the presence of the Roman Painted House, an archaeological site with well-preserved wall paintings, located near the southern boundary of the ward.
