About

Boughton and Selling lie in the Swale district of Kent, set amid farmland, hedgerows and pockets of woodland between Faversham and Canterbury. The A2, following the line of the old Roman road, runs close to the settlements and shapes the pattern of lanes and property frontages. Fields and narrow lanes lead up onto the North Downs escarpment in places, and the parishes retain a scattered mix of cottages, farmsteads and small clusters of housing rather than a single large centre.

Local life centres on parish-level activity, village halls and country lanes used for walking and cycling. On the edge of the parishes the Blean woodland meets the farmland, where rides and coppiced rides run into larger blocks of ancient trees and support a range of seasonal wildlife. Small-scale agriculture remains a visible part of the landscape and occasional community events reflect that connection to land and local history.
