Aldington is a small, rural village and civil parish in the borough of Ashford, Kent, England, a few miles south‑east of the town of Ashford. It sits on the Greensand Ridge with long views across Romney Marsh, and the compact village centre still shows a mix of historic buildings clustered around its church and main street.
A notable local landmark is Aldington Knoll, an ancient mound and traditional beacon site that makes for a good viewpoint. The community has medieval roots and an agricultural character, but there is an active village life with a hall, pub and regular events, while many residents commute to Ashford and beyond thanks to links such as Ashford International.
