Ulcombe is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Maidstone, in the county of Kent, England. It sits amid Kent’s rolling countryside of farmland and pockets of ancient woodland, giving a quiet, rural character while remaining within reach of larger towns.
The village has a long history reflected in its older houses and parish church and retains a largely agricultural and residential feel; many residents commute to nearby centres for work, and local life tends to revolve around community activities and the surrounding landscape rather than industry.
