Wittersham is a small, rural village and civil parish in the borough of Ashford, Kent, in south‑east England. Sitting on low‑lying farmland close to the River Rother and the fringes of the Isle of Oxney, it has long been shaped by agriculture - historically hop and arable farming - and by its position between marsh and higher ground, which gives the lanes and hedgerows a distinctly picturesque, village‑green feel.
The community is compact and village‑centred, with a historic parish church, traditional cottages and a local pub and hall that host fetes and events; it also attracts walkers and cyclists exploring nearby Tenterden and the Romney/Weald countryside. While the local economy remains largely rural, Wittersham also functions as a tranquil commuter base for people working in larger towns, blending a strong sense of local history with quieter modern living.
