Etchinghill lies about 5 km north of Hythe, and 1 km north of the Channel Tunnel terminal at Cheriton, near Folkestone. The village has a standard golf course noted for its hills, as well as a pub restaurant called The New Inn which claims to be the closest pub to the Channel Tunnel.

To the north-east of the village are the remains of the Elham Valley Railway, characterised by steep-sided cuttings and tunnels. The line, which ran from Canterbury to the port of Folkestone, was closed in 1947 and dismantled between 1950 and 1954.

Until the early 1990s, the village was dominated by St Mary's Hospital. The hospital was closed and all the buildings, with the exception of the un-consecrated chapel, were demolished. 52 houses now occupy approximately two thirds of the land, with a new village hall and amenity land for all to enjoy taking up the remainder of the area.
