This bohemian town is brimming with restaurants, boutique shops, traditional pubs, art galleries and picturesque streets. Pearson Heights is located to the south-west of Whitstable, across the road from Duncan Down, a large village green which has been awarded a Green Flag. A medical centre, supermarket, vets, hotel and restaurant are only 0.3 miles west.
