Sturry is a village and civil parish just a couple of miles north-east of Canterbury in Kent, sitting beside the River Stour and close to the A28. It has a mix of riverside marshes, patchwork farmland and suburban housing, and is served by Sturry railway station, making it a popular commuter spot for people working in the city and along the coast.
Historically the settlement grew around milling and agriculture and you can still see older buildings and a village centre with pubs, a primary school and community facilities alongside light industry and some gravel extraction in the surrounding countryside. Its proximity to Canterbury gives residents easy access to major historic and cultural attractions while the village retains a quiet, close‑knit character with riverside walks and local clubs.
