Wittersham is a compact, largely rural village in the borough of Ashford, in Kent, England, nestling close to the low-lying valley of the River Rother on the fringe of the Romney Marsh. The landscape around the village is a pleasant mix of farmland, hedgerows and small woods, giving it a strong agricultural feel but within easy reach of market towns such as Tenterden and transport links into larger centres.
Historically the settlement has medieval roots and retains traditional features such as a village church and a local pub, while contemporary life is marked by active community groups, parish events and small-scale local businesses. Many residents work locally in farming and tourism or commute to nearby towns and cities, so the village combines a quiet, historic character with a lively community spirit.
