Coastal Farm, CT6

Located on the cliffs between Herne Bay and Margate, Coastal Farm has far reaching views across the sea and the historic Reculver Towers. Its coastal position offers diverse landscapes from open grass fields to marshland, large reservoirs and a quarry pit edged by woodland.

A traditional Georgian farmhouse, framed by an unusual red brick arch, sits at the heart of the farm alongside the old working farmyard which includes timeworn arched stables, outbuildings and red brick timber barns. Coastal Farm’s varied and interesting landscapes lends itself to a shoot location that needs the farm or rural vibe that sits  close to the Kentish coastline.
