Greenhill, Kent
suburb in Herne Bay, Kent, UK
Greenhill is an outlying suburb of the coastal town of Herne Bay, in Kent in southeast England. The erstwhile Thanet Way, now renumbered as the A2990 road, separates Greenhill from Herne Bay.
Greenhill is home to Thornden Wood Primary School for children aged from 4–11 years and Herne Bay High School for children aged from 11 to 18, a sports college which very recently gained its sports status. Greenhill has its own Gymnastics Club and a wide range of community groups and organisations.

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5604113. Authority coordinates are 51.360, 1.103. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
