Marden is a large village and civil parish in the borough of Maidstone, Kent, England, set on the flat, fertile floodplain of the River Beult. Historically shaped by agriculture, the area is still dominated by orchards, nurseries and market gardening, and you’ll find a mix of older timber‑framed buildings and a medieval parish church that speak to its rural past.
Today Marden has a close‑knit village feel with a high street, local clubs and events, and easy road and rail links to nearby towns. The surrounding meadows, hedgerows and river corridors make it popular for walks and wildlife spotting, while the local economy remains strongly tied to horticulture and seasonal produce.
