Hunton is a small, rural village and civil parish in the borough of Maidstone, in Kent, England. It sits within the gentle Low Weald landscape, close to the course of the River Beult, and retains a compact historic core with a traditional parish church and a mix of period houses and farm buildings that reflect centuries of local agricultural life.
The local economy still shows its farming roots - orchards, pasture and former hop-gardens shape the surrounding countryside - while many residents now commute to nearby Maidstone or beyond. Community life is active for a village of its size, with a parish council, village hall and seasonal events that keep a strong sense of place, and a network of footpaths and lanes that attract walkers interested in Kentish landscapes and local history.
