Sturry is a compact village and civil parish just to the north‑east of Canterbury in Kent, England, sitting beside the winding Great Stour and close to the ancient woodland of The Blean. Its setting by marshy lowlands that once formed part of the Wantsum Channel gives it easy access to countryside walks and wildlife, while the A28 and a local rail stop make it a convenient commuter base for the city and surrounding towns.
Historically the settlement has deep roots, with medieval buildings and archaeological finds reflecting Roman and Saxon activity, and today combines agriculture and small industry with a lively village community of pubs, clubs and local events. Conservation interests around the marshes and woods, together with proximity to Canterbury’s cultural amenities, give Sturry a mix of rural character and everyday convenience.
