Boughton Malherbe is a small, largely rural village and civil parish in the borough of Maidstone, Kent, England. It sits in gently rolling countryside on the fringe of the North Downs and the Weald, with narrow lanes, woodlands and farmland giving the area a quiet, pastoral character.
The village has medieval origins and its name reflects the long association with the Malherbe family; you’ll find historic buildings and a traditional parish focus alongside a contemporary mix of farming, orchards and households who commute into nearby towns. Community life tends to centre on the church and village activities, and the setting is popular with walkers and anyone seeking a slice of Kentish country life.
