Situation
Martin and Martin Mill are hamlets to the south west of Deal, set within a rural location with undulating countryside to the surrounds. The village community benefits from a 17th century public house (The Lantern Inn), a village cricket club and in neighbouring East Langdon, local village primary school and well equipped and maintained family park/recreation area. Within Martin Mill itself lies a mainline railway station with direct high speed service to London St Pancras. To the east lies the picturesque cliff top village of St Margaret's Bay, with its sheltered beach, surrounded by National Trust land.  The nearby harbour town of Dover has an impressive marina, various water sports facilities and regular ferry service to the continent.  Deal lies to the north, and is ever popular with its mix of traditional seaside vibe together with a vibrant art scene, independent shops and plenty of cafes and eateries.  Locally, the A2 provides easy access to the southern motorway network with the cathedral city of Canterbury just 20 minutes by car.
