The South Willesborough Dykes area is on the west bank of the East Stour River and is an area designated as a Site of Nature Conservation Interest.

The Norman Cycles Club is based at Willesborough Windmill and The Norman Museum is located in the Windmill's barn. The William Harvey Hospital is a major hospital based here, serving a large part of Kent. It’s named after the famous doctor who discovered the blood circulatory system. There is a statue of William Harvey at the Hospital and an older damaged statue of him, from the hospital, in the garden at the William Harvey Public House on Church Road.
