About

Boxley Downs is a residential ward situated in the northeastern part of Maidstone. The area is characterised by a mix of post-war housing estates and more modern developments, providing a range of local amenities for its residents. It is bordered by the M20 motorway to the north, which provides a key transport link, and includes the grounds of the former Oakwood Hospital, now largely redeveloped. The ward encompasses the neighbourhoods of Grovewood and parts of Penenden Heath.

Much of the area's identity is shaped by its proximity to the expansive Boxley and Detling escarpments, which form part of the North Downs. This offers accessible walking routes with views over the Weald. The local community is served by several primary schools and a library, with the town centre a short drive away. The presence of the Kent County Showground, hosting major annual events, is a significant local feature.
