About

Hoath, Hersden and Littlebourne form a string of parishes to the east of Canterbury, set into a mix of arable fields, hedgerows and lanes. Hoath retains its medieval parish church at the village core and a pattern of small lanes and farms that reflect long-established field boundaries. Hersden developed in the 20th century as housing for workers at Chislet Colliery, and traces of that industrial past remain in street patterns and reclaimed land from the mine. Littlebourne sits around a central green and parish church, with cottages and later housing framing village streets rather than a single estate plan.

Local life is organised through parish councils, a village hall in each settlement and community groups that use the network of footpaths linking fields and woods. Primary school provision and small shops are focused in Littlebourne while allotments, sports pitches and playing fields provide shared space across the parishes. Birdlife and hedgerow mammals are common along ditch lines, and seasonal events — village fetes, harvest gatherings and memorial services — mark the calendar for residents.
