About

Thanington lies to the southwest of Canterbury's city centre, primarily a residential suburb with a mix of housing estates and some light industrial units near the A28 corridor. The area is bordered by the Great Stour river, with the expansive Thanington Wood providing a significant green space for local walks. It functions largely as a commuter area, with direct road and bus links into the main city.

Directly south, the village of Chartham is situated within the Stour Valley, maintaining a more distinct and historic village character. It is known for the 13th-century St. Mary's Church and its historic paper mill, which operated for centuries on the river. The surrounding area consists of farmland and the Chartham Hatch settlement, with the Chilham to Canterbury railway line passing through. The landscape is defined by the river and water meadows.
