Chartham is a village and civil parish in the district of Canterbury, in Kent, sitting a few miles south‑west of the city beside the winding River Stour. The setting mixes floodplain meadows, orchards and market gardens, and a local railway station gives regular services into Canterbury and towards Ashford, so it combines a distinctly rural feel with easy commuter links.
The village has a long history visible in a historic church, timber‑framed houses and an industrial past centred on milling and papermaking; the riverside Chartham Paper Mill is a notable local landmark. Today the community is a blend of agriculture, light industry and residential life with village shops, pubs, active societies and pleasant riverside walks, while being close to the cultural amenities of Canterbury.
