Little Stour and Adisham is a largely rural ward in the district of Canterbury, Kent, England, made up of small villages, hamlets and surrounding farmland straddling the low-lying corridor of the River Little Stour. The landscape mixes pasture, arable fields and pockets of wet meadow and hedgerow, with long historic routes and lanes connecting timber‑framed cottages, village greens and medieval parish churches.
Locally the economy remains rooted in agriculture and small rural enterprises, though many residents commute to nearby centres thanks to rail and road links. The area has a strong village culture - community halls, parish events and conservation-minded groups are common - and its mix of riverside habitats, traditional buildings and quiet lanes attracts walkers and naturalists as well as those interested in Kentish rural history.
