About Knowlton

Knowlton, once an ecclesiastical and civil parish in Kent, is now integrated into the Goodnestone civil parish within the Dover district. Situated approximately 10 miles north of Dover, this small village is home to Knowlton Hall, which is surrounded by 200 acres of parkland. As of 1931, the population was just 18, reflecting its tranquil and rural character, which may be of interest to those researching planning applications in the area. It sits within the Goodnestone district.
