The ward of Coxheath and Farleigh sits on the southern edge of the borough of Maidstone in Kent, England. It is centred on the large open expanse of Coxheath Common on the Greensand Ridge, which gives the area a pleasantly semi‑rural feel while keeping it within easy reach of both Maidstone and London.
Historically the common was notable as an 18th‑century military camping and training ground, and today the locality blends agricultural roots with a commuter population; village life is driven by village halls, pubs, small shops and active sports clubs, with cricket and football pitches on the common and regular community events and fetes that still draw people together.
