East Farleigh is a riverside village and civil parish on the River Medway, a few miles west of Maidstone in Kent, England. It sits amid orchards and rolling farmland typical of the Kentish countryside, with riverside meadows and well used walking routes that attract anglers and ramblers alike.
The village is notable for its narrow medieval bridge and the historic St Mary's Church, and a compact conservation area of timber‑framed cottages and Georgian houses. Historically tied to hop-growing and fruit cultivation, the local economy now mixes remaining agriculture with commuter dwellers working in Maidstone and further afield, while a lively community calendar preserves a strong village feel.
