About

Harrietsham, Hollingbourne and Lenham sit in the Maidstone borough between the North Downs and the Len valley. Chalk downland rises above Hollingbourne, giving way to farmland and orchards on lower slopes. The River Len runs through the area and continues east toward the Medway, shaping small valleys and wet meadows. Roads and lanes link the three villages while footpaths run up onto the Downs, where views open across Kent farmland rather than built-up ground. Transport is local in scale and services concentrate in the villages themselves.

Settlements here retain a village pattern: Lenham around a broad market square with timber-framed houses and a parish church; Harrietsham clustered along a main street with its own medieval church and village green; Hollingbourne set below the Downs with lanes that meet at a village centre. Farming and small local businesses remain part of everyday life, and occasional events use the village halls and greens. Older buildings, field systems and the patchwork of orchards and hedgerows record centuries of local land use.
