About

Sturry ward encompasses a mix of residential and rural landscapes on the northeastern edge of Canterbury. The area includes the village of Sturry itself, which functions as a local service centre with shops and schools, alongside the neighbouring hamlet of Fordwich. The River Stour flows through the ward, defining much of its southern boundary and providing a distinct natural feature.

The ward contains significant areas of farmland and open space, contributing to a less dense character than the city centre. Fordwich holds the distinction of being England's smallest town by population, with its historic town hall situated by the river. Transport links are defined by the main road and railway line connecting to Canterbury and the coast, while the presence of the University of Kent's northern campus adds an institutional element to the local setting.
