Local Info

Lenham is a market village and civil parish in Kent situated on the southern edge of the North Downs, halfway between Maidstone and Ashford.  The picturesque square in the village has two public houses (one of which is a hotel), tea-rooms and a number of local businesses. Lenham has a population of 3,370 according to the  2011 consensus.

The village is at the main source of the Great Stour and the Stour Valley Walk starts here, heading to Ashford and on to Canterbury and the English Channel near Sandwich.  It is also the source of the River Len, which flows in a westerly direction to join the River Medway at Maidstone.
