Eastling is a small village and civil parish in the district of Swale, Kent, England. It sits on the scarp of the North Downs, giving views over orchards and arable countryside a few miles south of Faversham, with easy road and rail links into the wider Canterbury and north Kent area.
The settlement retains a distinctly rural, historic feel with a medieval parish church and a handful of traditional buildings surrounded by farmland; the local economy is largely agricultural with a number of residents commuting to nearby towns such as Faversham, Sittingbourne or Canterbury. Community life is typical of a small Kent village, centred on a village hall, seasonal events and a network of public footpaths that make it popular with walkers enjoying the Downs and the surrounding countryside.
