Homewood is an electoral ward in the borough of Swale in Kent, lying close to the town of Sittingbourne and within easy reach of the estuarine landscape that characterises this corner of the county. The area mixes suburban housing with pockets of Kentish countryside and benefits from good road and rail links that connect residents to London and other parts of the county.
Locally the ward has a mainly residential feel with small shops, community groups and some light industry nearby, reflecting the broader economic history of orchards, farming and past brickmaking in the Swale area. Its proximity to the tidal creek system known as The Swale and to the Isle of Sheppey gives it easy access to notable birdlife and coastal walks, while a range of local clubs and parish activities helps sustain a strong community spirit.
