Iwade is a small village in the borough of Swale in Kent, England, a few miles north of Sittingbourne. It sits close to the low-lying North Kent Marshes and overlooks the tidal channel of the Swale towards the Isle of Sheppey, with convenient road links via the A249 to the M2 corridor.
Originally an agricultural settlement that grew with nearby industry, Iwade today combines village life with commuter convenience: many residents travel to Sittingbourne, Maidstone or the Medway towns for work. The community is active around its primary school, village hall and sports clubs, and the mix of modern housing, rural lanes and marshland views gives it a quietly characterful feel with easy access to coastal walks.
