Bredgar is a small rural village and civil parish in the Borough of Swale, Kent, England, set on rolling farmland between Sittingbourne and Faversham. The local economy is traditionally agricultural, with orchards and mixed farming still visible in the landscape, while many residents commute to nearby towns or to London for work.
The village retains a historic core with a parish church, a traditional green and a number of attractive period buildings, and community life centres on a village hall, annual events and small-scale tourism. A distinctive local attraction is the heritage line, the Bredgar & Wormshill Light Railway, which draws enthusiasts on open days and helps give the parish a quietly lively social scene alongside its rural character.
