About

Bridge, Bishopsbourne and Barham lie south of Canterbury at the foot and on the scarp of the North Downs. The Nailbourne, a seasonal chalk stream, flows through Bridge and Bishopsbourne, disappearing into the chalk in dry months and rising after heavy rain. Village streets cluster around parish churches and village greens, and narrow lanes climb from the valley to Barham Downs. Surrounding land is a mix of pasture, arable fields and small blocks of ancient woodland, with hedgerows marking long-standing field patterns.

Barham Downs is a stretch of chalk downland with chalk grassland and ridge-top tracks that give long views over the Stour valley. Local lanes link the three settlements to Canterbury and to the network of footpaths across the Downs. Buildings include farmsteads, cottages and a scattering of 19th-century houses. In Bridge the Nailbourne can return suddenly in winter, running across lanes and through village gardens; that seasonal flow influences where buildings and roads sit relative to the valley floor.
