Surroundings
Hilderstone College is located in the centre of Broadstairs, a beautiful seaside town with wonderful, golden, sandy beaches, on the south-east coast of England. It is attractive and friendly with excellent residential areas within walking distance. There is a great choice of small shops, restaurants, coffee bars and pubs in the town centre and on the seafront. Not far from the College is a modern shopping centre, and there are cinemas, swimming pools, sports facilities and much more in the local area. The town dates back over 700 years and has many historical connections, including to Queen Victoria, Charles Dickens and smugglers. It continues to be a popular destination for people coming on breaks and holidays, as well as to enjoy the many annual festivals and events which fill its busy calendar. Travelling to Broadstairs is easy- just one hour and twenty minutes from London by high speed train. The town is also close to the port of Dover, as well as the international stations of Ashford and Ebbsfleet. Travelling from a London airport- Gatwick, Heathrow, Stansted, or City- is simple: either take a train straight into London and catch the direct train to Broadstairs, or use the local airport shuttle coach service. If you prefer, we can arrange for a taxi to collect you from the airport and take you straight to your accommodation. There are shops, supermarkets, cafes, pubs, restaurants, banks, a library, a gym and a cinema, all in the town centre. The town has tennis courts, a golf course, a surf school, a sailing club and a coastal cycle path. There is a modern shopping centre, Westwood Cross, on the edge of the town with shops, supermarkets, a multiplex cinema and restaurants. There are events in the town throughout the year, including a Dickens festival, broadstairs Fol Week and blues music and food festivals.
