Meopham in the borough of Gravesham, Kent, England sits on the lower slopes of the North Downs, a largely linear village strung out along country lanes and centred on a pleasant village green. Its chalk ridge location gives good views and a rural feel - orchards, hop and arable farmland remain visible alongside houses - yet it is within easy commuting distance of London and nearby towns thanks to road and rail links.
Historically agricultural, Meopham retains a medieval parish church, conservation areas and a number of listed buildings that hint at its long village past, while today the local economy mixes small businesses, remaining farming and many residents who work further afield. The community is active with village clubs, pubs and events, so it often feels more like a network of hamlets with a strong local identity than a single suburban estate.
