Situated in a tranquil valley a few hundred yards from the famous White Cliffs of Dover sits Reach Court Farm. Owned by Derek and Jacqui Mitchell, the farm has been in the Mitchell family for over 70 years and, although most of the present day farming activities take place at an adjoining farm, it still retains its rural characteristics. Purchased in 1934 by Mr and Mrs Gilbert W. Mitchell, Reach Court Farm is rich in anecdotes and history.
The farm was left in a position of great exposure after the announcement of the Second World War. The area became known as Hellfire Corner, with the Battle of Britain raging overhead. Mr Mitchell might have been forgiven for evacuating to some less turbulent region but in spite of the bombs and shells, he carried on farming, and was given control of a vast farming area by the War Department.
Beautiful setting with easy access to walks on the stunning White Cliffs. A good base for exploring Canterbury and the Thames/Channel coast. The cottages are well decorated, bed linen and towels provided, plus a good range of crockery and glassware.
