Bourne is an electoral ward in the borough of Tonbridge and Malling, in Kent, England. It combines suburban housing with pockets of open countryside on the edge of the borough, and benefits from relatively easy road and rail links for commuters travelling to London and other parts of Kent.
Locally the area shows the typical Kent mix of post‑war and more recent residential development, small local shops and community facilities, alongside agricultural and greenbelt land. Its character is shaped by that blend of commuter demand, longstanding village ties and neighbourhood groups, with local history rooted in Kentish rural life that has gradually given way to a more suburban, family‑orientated profile.
