Northgate Kent Map

About Northgate

The character of Northgate is intrinsically linked to its proximity to the historic cathedral city, with a landscape that gently slopes away from the urban centre. It lies 0.6 km north-east of Canterbury (from Canterbury: bearing 53°T, OS grid TR 152 582). Northgate itself is a primarily residential suburb, offering a quieter counterpoint to the bustling city it adjoins. Its development reflects the post-war expansion of Canterbury, with a mix of housing styles catering to families and commuters. While Northgate lacks grand historical monuments of its own, its residents benefit from easy access to Canterbury's rich heritage, including its world-renowned cathedral and medieval streets. The area’s green spaces and proximity to the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty provide ample opportunities for outdoor recreation.
