Location: Stanford is a village in Kent and is part of the Folkestone and Hythe district, situated approximately 1 mile from Junction 11 of the M20. The village developed along the ancient Roman Stone Street and was divided by the construction of the M20 motorway into Stanford North and Stanford South. Stanford Windmill and the parish church of All Saints are in the village. The parish includes the hamlet of Westenhanger. Folkestone Racecourse was located here; during World War II it served as the RAF Westenhanger airfield, and eventually closed for redevelopment in December 2012. Westenhanger Castle was adjacent to the racecourse and is now a fortified manor house once owned by royalty, located next to Westenhanger railway station. The castle has endured a period of steady decline to near ruination in recent years, but the current owners have engaged a programme of consolidation, conservation and restoration to the castle and adjoining buildings. It is now being used as a conference and wedding venue. Westenhanger station is 0.5 miles away (walkable) with connecting trains to Ashford International Station where the High Speed service will take you into London St Pancras in 38 minutes. The Channel Tunnel Terminal is only 4 miles away giving easy access to Europe. There are local buses to Hythe and surrounding villages. The Drum Inn is a traditional 18th century Inn built in 1708 and is situated in Stanford North. The Inn is renowned for it’s fine selection of real ales and a traditional ‘pub menu’ prepared mainly from locally sourced ingredients.
