Birchington, Kent`s largest village, is situated on the Isle of Thanet in the North East of the
county within easy reach from the M2. There have been settlements in and around
Birchington since pre-historic times. The present-day community of around 14,000 people
is centred on the square and its parish church, with its origins in the 12th century, together
with the neighbouring welcoming public houses. The sea shore includes sandy bays, rock pools
and paddling pools and forms part of the Thanet Coast project. Dante Gabriel Rosetti,
painter and poet, is buried in the churchyard. Birchington is twinned with La Chapelle d`Armentieres
in North Western France.
