Lynsted is a small village and civil parish in the district of Swale in Kent, England. Administratively it is often grouped as the parish of Lynsted with Kingsdown and sits amid the rolling orchards and farmland that give this part of the county its Garden of England character.
The village retains a distinctly rural, historic feel with several period houses and a parish church at its heart; while agriculture - historically hops and fruit - remains visible, many residents commute to nearby towns such as Sittingbourne or to London. It’s popular with walkers and those seeking quiet country life thanks to its proximity to the chalk ridges of the Kent Downs and local footpaths, with community life centred on the village hall, church and occasional local events.
