Kennington

Kennington is a residential village that sits between Ashford and Canterbury along the main transport corridor. It retains the character of a traditional Kentish village, with local facilities and green areas serving the community. The village is a quiet stopping point when travelling between the two larger towns, offering a glimpse of the more rural side of the district away from the commercial centres.

As a village rather than a major attraction destination, Kennington's appeal lies in its local character and connection to the broader landscape of the Stour Valley. For those journeying between Ashford and Canterbury, it marks a stage in the transition from the busier town environments to the countryside and heritage sites that characterise the approach to Canterbury. It is a good point to break up longer journeys and get a feel for everyday village life in Kent.
