The historic town of St Margaret's Bay, Kent first appeared in the Doomsday Book as "Sancta Margharita" The location of the village next to the Kent Coast has over the centuries given rise to many interesting associations. In 1367 there was a hermit monk who is said to have kept a light burning in a cave to warn of the dangerous shores - in more modern times the first electric light was used at South Foreland Lighthouse in 1859. St Margaret's Bay also had a reputation for smugglers, and you can see why when you wander along the coastline, so close to France it was a perfect choice. During the Second World War this area was named, "Hell Fire Corner" due to the continual bombardment. On a more happy association St Margaret's Bay developed as a retreat for the well to do and many names you would recognise have stayed or lived here. These include Lord Arthur Cecil, Noel Coward, Ian Fleming and Peter Ustinov. The amazing views and sea air must have contributed to their creative talents!
As you can see Treworgie in Kent has much to offer the holidaymaker, a charming home from home and a perfect cottage to "get away from it all" throughout the year.

Further inland there are the Kent Downs which are valued for their chalk grassland and wildlife.
For sporting activities there is much to offer, horse riding, cycling, swimming, water sports and golf are all available locally. In summer the beach and rock pools are perfect for children, with safe swimming in the bay. St Margaret's Bay has been for a long time a good location for surfers, kayakers and canoeists.

The Pines Garden Museum in St Margaret's Bay is well worth a visit and includes six acres of organically managed gardens. The 12th Century local church is also interesting with rounded arches and doorways. Further afield there is the historic Dover Castle and Walmer Castle both good locations for days out.
If France beckons then why not take a ferry from Dover or the Channel Tunnel at Folkestone for a day trip, it's so close so don't forget to bring your passports!
Inland a short drive away is the historic City of Canterbury with its cobbled streets and magnificent Cathedral, many hours can be spent exploring and enjoying everything that this Medieval City has to offer.
