Elvington is a small pit village on a ridge in between Canterbury and Dover in the county of Kent in Southeast England.

Located near Eythorne, Elvington was mostly built in the early 20th century to serve the nearby coal mine at Tilmanstone, as were other Kent Coalfield villages including Snowdown, Aylesham and Betteshanger.

[3] Today the site of the mine is an industrial estate between Tilmanstone and Eythorne located on the Pike Road.

[4] Services today include a community/learning centre, school,[5] shop, hairdressers, and takeaway shop as well as local information centre providing access to training and employment for local residents.

[citation needed] Dover District Council has earmarked land around Elvington as potential for housing development in their recent draft local plan.
