Barming Heath & Teston sits to the west of Maidstone in Kent, England, where suburban housing meets the rural valley of the River Medway. The ward includes the village of Teston, known for its riverside character and the stone Teston Bridge, and the edge of Barming with its rail link at Barming station, making the area convenient for commuters into Maidstone and beyond to London.
Locally there is a strong village feel - pubs, churches and community groups play a big part in social life, and green spaces such as Teston Bridge Country Park attract walkers and families. The economy mixes small businesses and agriculture with a significant commuter population, while the long history of river crossings and riverside industry gives the area a gently historic, semi-rural character.
