Smeeth is a small rural parish in the borough of Ashford, in the county of Kent, in England. It retains a quiet, agricultural character of rolling fields and hedgerows, while being within easy reach of the larger town of Ashford, so many residents combine local farming or village trades with commuter work in the wider region.
The community has long roots, reflected in a parish church and a number of older farmhouses and cottages, and village life tends to centre on a village hall and the local pub, with occasional fetes and community events. Recent years have seen modest change as families and retirees move in, but the parish is still noted for its countryside setting and close-knit social life.
