Coldred is a small rural community, some 7 miles NW of Dover. One of the highest places in East Kent, nearly 400 ft above sea level, it has the reputation of being a "healthy and salubrious place in which to live". As far back as 1700, Coldred held the county record for the longevity of its inhabitants. With just 55 dwellings and a church, the rural scene has changed very little over the centuries.
Of these homes, 15 are post-war but these additions can be offset against the loss of quite a few small cottages, including some pairs that have been converted to one home. The adult population is approximately 110 (1994) with a fluctuating 25/30 children.
Without a School in the village our children have to attend the Primary School at Shepherdswell less than 1 mile away. Secondary education could not be better serviced with a wealth of excellent Schools in the surrounding area namely Canterbury, Sandwich, Deal and Dover.
In Autumn of 2015, Coldred was connected to BT Infinity.
