River lies just inland from Dover in Kent's chalk downland, serving both ferry passengers and local traffic. The A2 provides the main connection to London (75 miles) and Canterbury, while the A256 links northward to Sandwich. With over 90 fast EV chargers nearby, it's well-equipped for electric vehicles. The village sits on historic drove roads that once carried livestock across the downs.
