Bobbing is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Swale in Kent, England, a short drive from Sittingbourne. Set in typical Kent countryside of arable fields and fruit orchards, it functions today as a quietly residential community with many people commuting to nearby towns while still retaining a rural feel.
The parish has visible historic threads - a medieval parish church and the site of the old manor known as Bobbing Court reflect its long past - and a clutch of listed buildings and traditional cottages. Local social life is modest and village-focused, centred on the hall and occasional community events, while lanes and footpaths make it pleasant for walkers exploring this part of the Garden of England.
