Sturry sits on the north‑east edge of Canterbury in Kent, beside the River Stour and close to the marshes of Stodmarsh. The ward mixes suburban housing, farmland and former gravel‑extraction sites, with good road and rail links into the city, so it is popular with commuters while still offering easy access to riverside walks and nature reserves.
The area has deep roots - Roman finds have been unearthed locally and the tiny riverside town of Fordwich lies within the parish - and you’ll still see medieval church buildings and reminders of old mills. Today it combines village‑scale shops, pubs and community life with proximity to Canterbury’s cultural amenities, and its riverside and wetlands attract birdwatchers and walkers.
