About

Nailbourne ward lies on the southeastern edge of Canterbury, primarily defined by residential streets and local amenities. The area is named after the River Little Stour, historically called the Nailbourne, which is a winterbourne stream that flows intermittently through the ward's landscape. Housing consists largely of post-war estates and some older terraced homes, serving a settled community with several schools and neighbourhood shops.

A notable feature is the presence of the Canterbury Rugby Football Club grounds, providing a focal point for local sport. The ward includes the suburban area of Hales Place and is bordered by open farmland to the south, offering a transition from city to countryside. The erratic flow of the Nailbourne stream itself characterises the local geography, its chalk bed often dry for much of the year.
