About

Marden is a village and civil parish in the borough of Maidstone, Kent, set among farmland and orchards that belong to the county's "Garden of England" identity. The settlement supports a village hall, a primary school, a parish church and a handful of shops and a public house that serve the surrounding farming community. Fields around the village are given over to arable crops and fruit production; you will see lines of apple and pear trees trained on espalier systems along several farm boundaries.

Local lanes connect Marden with neighbouring parishes and to Maidstone for broader services, while public transport links serve workers and students. Footpaths and country tracks radiate from the village and are used for walking and cycling, and local clubs organise sports, horticulture and seasonal shows that follow the farming calendar. The parish retains a rural pattern of farms and hamlets that shapes everyday life and community activity.
