Broadoak is a small rural settlement in the borough of Swale in north‑east Kent, England. It sits within the classic Kentish agricultural landscape - think orchards, hop gardens and scattered farmsteads - and is within easy reach of larger market towns such as Faversham and Sittingbourne, with the North Downs and the Swale estuary not far away.
Historically the locality is shaped by farming and fruit‑growing, so traditional oast houses, timber‑framed cottages and converted agricultural buildings feature in the area. Social life tends to revolve around parish and village amenities and local events, while economically many residents combine local rural work with commuting to nearby towns or to London; the landscape also attracts walkers and cyclists who value the quiet, well‑preserved countryside.
