Acol is a hamlet and civil parish in the Thanet District of Kent, England, about 1.5 miles south of Birchington. It is one of the smallest communities in Kent, and over the years large parts of the parish have been transferred to other neighbouring communities. Acol is situated just north of the Western end of the runway at Manston Airport.
The condition for labourers throughout Kent at the end of the Napoleonic War deteriorated to the point where unrest brought about the start of the Swing Riots in 1833–4. At the same time, many labourers left Kent, often with the grateful assistance of their parish councils who did not want to keep supporting them, to take up new lives in the colonies in North America and particularly Australia and New Zealand.
