Hartlip is a small, rural village and civil parish in the borough of Swale, in Kent, England. It sits among the rolling farmland and orchards that are typical of this part of Kent, close to the scarp of the North Downs, and enjoys a landscape of hedged lanes, scattered cottages and public footpaths that make it popular with walkers and people seeking a quieter country life.
The settlement has a strong local identity centred on its historic parish church and a number of attractive timber‑framed and listed buildings; agriculture - particularly fruit and arable farming - has long shaped the local economy, while many residents commute to nearby towns such as Sittingbourne and Maidstone. Community life is small‑scale but active, with village events and a village hall helping to keep social ties tight in an otherwise tranquil part of the Kent countryside.
