The village and civil parish of Newnham sits in the borough of Swale in Kent, in south‑east England. It is a small, predominantly rural settlement surrounded by orchards and arable fields on the edge of the North Kent marshes and within easy reach of Faversham and Sittingbourne, with views towards the tidal channels of the Swale.
Part of Kent’s agricultural heartland, Newnham has historic associations with fruit and hop growing and retains several older buildings and a parish church that anchor village life. The community is quiet and village‑orientated, with local events and a mix of farming activity alongside residents who commute to nearby towns or London, giving a blend of traditional rural character and modern connectivity.
