Chartham is a village and civil parish just outside Canterbury in Kent, England, set on the banks of the River Stour about three miles from the city. The village has a compact historic core and an agricultural hinterland that once supported hops and orchards; it also has a long local association with paper-making on the Stour, which helped shape its riverside economy. The surrounding countryside and chalk downs make it a pleasant spot for walkers and anyone wanting easy access to rural Kent.
Today Chartham feels like a lively commuter village with a mix of older houses, newer developments and typical community facilities such as a primary school, village hall and pubs. It is served by a railway station with regular services to Canterbury and Ashford, so residents balance village life with strong links to nearby towns for work, shopping and cultural amenities.
