Map of the UK

Adisham is a small rural village and civil parish in the Canterbury district of Kent in south‑east England, set among rolling farmland and orchards typical of the county. It lies within easy commuting distance of Canterbury and the coast and is served by a local railway station with regular services towards Canterbury and Dover, which helps keep the village connected despite its quiet, agricultural setting.

The settlement retains a tangible sense of history in its medieval parish church, timber‑framed cottages and a number of listed buildings, and supports an active community life centred on a village hall and church events. Agriculture has long shaped the local economy - hops and fruit growing were important historically - but today small businesses, tourism and commuter households also play a significant role in village life.
