Doddington is a small village and civil parish in Swale, Kent, set in gently rolling countryside a few miles from the market towns of Faversham and Sittingbourne. The surrounding landscape is typical of north Kent, with arable fields, orchards, hedgerows and lanes, and it sits within easy reach of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the tidal creeks of the Swale and Thames Estuary.
The settlement retains a strongly rural and historic character, with timber‑framed farmhouses, oast buildings and a medieval parish church among its listed structures; agriculture has long shaped the local economy though many residents now commute to nearby towns. A small, active community and a network of quiet lanes and public footpaths make Doddington popular with walkers and anyone after a peaceful slice of Kentish countryside.
