Newenden is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Ashford in Kent, England. It sits on the banks of the River Rother, close to the county boundary with East Sussex and only a few miles from the market town of Tenterden. The setting is low-lying and rural, with river meadows that make it popular for quiet riverside walks, angling and small craft on the water.
With medieval roots, Newenden survives today as a tight-knit agricultural community made up of a small cluster of homes and farmsteads rather than a large village centre. The local economy remains largely farming-based, with some residents commuting to nearby towns, and the settlement’s attractive riverside character and countryside access are typical of the small, historic communities around this part of south‑east Kent.
