Barming

Barming is a small village situated on the outskirts of Maidstone alongside the River Medway. The village has a long history, with evidence of settlement dating back centuries, and retains much of its rural character despite its proximity to the town. The parish church of St Margaret is a notable local landmark, and the village green provides a traditional focal point.

The main appeal of Barming for visitors is its location on the Medway, which offers pleasant riverside walks and access to the surrounding countryside. The village is quiet and peaceful, making it a good stopping point for walkers exploring the river valley. Local pubs and the village church reflect its traditional Kent character. The surrounding area has good access to walking routes that lead both along the Medway and into the wider Kent landscape.
