Dandelion Paddock was a first-class cricket ground in Dent de Lion west of Margate, Kent.
The paddock was sited in the grounds of Dent de Lion, also known as Dandelion, in Garlinge, now a suburb located 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south-west of Margate.
The grounds had been converted into a resort and tea garden by the time cricket matches were held there and had become very popular with residents of Margate and nearby Ramsgate.
[1] The earliest known match at Dandelion Paddock was in September 1789 when Mann's East Kent XI played a team from the Isle of Thanet.
In September 1795, it became a first-class venue when Mann staged three successive matches featuring his own XI.
