Eastling is a small village and civil parish in the Borough of Swale in Kent, England, set on the scarp of the Kent Downs within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village overlooks stretches of chalk downland known locally as Eastling Down, with wide views down towards the Low Weald, and lies a few miles south of Faversham, within easy reach of Canterbury and Sittingbourne.
Eastling retains a strongly rural character: a small population, a medieval parish church and several historic houses reflect its long past, while surrounding orchards, pasture and chalk grassland point to the agricultural economy that still shapes village life. It’s popular with walkers and nature-watchers visiting the downland, and the social fabric revolves around traditional village institutions such as the church and village hall, with occasional local events and a close-knit community feel.
