Eythorne is a civil parish and small village located 7.3 miles north-northwest of Dover in Kent, with a combined population of approximately 2,500 residents including nearby villages Barfrestone and Elvington.

Although not classed as one of the former pit villages of Kent, it was only about a mile from Tilmanstone – which closed in 1986.

Eythorne once had three pubs; The Crown is still trading, but the White Horse and the Palm Tree are long closed, both now being residential properties.

Many reside in the small housing developments that sprang up in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Eythorne has a post office,[3] a primary school, a pub and a village shop.
