About

Boughton and Courtenay ward is a large, predominantly rural area in the northern part of the Swale district.

The landscape is characterised by agricultural land, orchards, and pockets of woodland, with a network of narrow country lanes connecting the communities.

Economic activity is largely based on farming and horticulture, with some commuter populations using the road and rail links to nearby towns.
