West Farleigh is a small village and civil parish a few miles south‑west of Maidstone in Kent, England. Set among rolling farmland and orchards typical of the Garden of England, it retains a quiet rural character with a medieval parish church, a scattering of historic cottages and farmhouses and narrow lanes lined with hedgerows.
Historically shaped by agriculture - notably hop growing and fruit - the parish today is largely residential, with many residents commuting to Maidstone or further afield. Community life revolves around the church, the village hall and occasional local events, giving it a close‑knit feel while remaining within easy reach of town services and transport links.
