Throwley is a small rural parish in the borough of Swale, in Kent, England, set on the rolling chalk of the North Downs. The area includes tiny hamlets such as Throwley Forstal and a patchwork of arable fields, ancient woodlands and downland, offering long views across the Kent countryside towards the coast and nearby towns.
Historically centred on farming and traditional Kentish trades such as hop‑growing, the parish still contains historic farmsteads and a medieval parish church that acts as a focal point for village life; today agriculture remains important but many residents commute to nearby market towns like Faversham or Canterbury. The small population and local institutions foster a close‑knit community with occasional fêtes and conservation efforts to protect the Downland landscape.
