Kingsdon is one of the most desirable locations in the vicinity. The entire village sits in a conservation area, resulting in a quaint and charming settlement which has remained unspoiled for generations.

The World Horse Welfare's Rescue Centre is on the outskirts of the village, whilst there is a cricket ground within the parkland of Kingsdon Manor Estate - providing the epitome of an English summer backdrop to this historic and attractive village.
