West Cliffe or Westcliffe is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of St. Margaret's At Cliffe, in the Dover district, in east Kent, England, near Dover. In 1931 the parish had a population of 88.[1]
The name "West Cliffe" means 'Cliff', the 'west' part later added in relation to adjacent St Margaret's at Cliffe.[2] West Cliffe was recorded in the Domesday Book as Westclive.[3] On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with St Margaret's at Cliffe and East Langdon.[4]
