Greatstone is located at the northern edge of the Dungeness shingle bank which also formed the southern headland of the inlet that was once New Romney harbour. The inlet still existed in the 19th century and was only closed in 1900 when the movement of shingle from the north coupled with the building of sea walls finally closed it. This looks onto the houses in Roberts Road and Baldwin Road.
