Ditton is a sizeable village and civil parish in the borough of Tonbridge and Malling, in Kent, England, lying a short distance west of Maidstone and close to Snodland. It sits near the valley of the River Medway and is conveniently placed beside main routes into Maidstone and London, making it part rural neighbour and commuter settlement; the M20 and A20 give good road access while rail links are a short drive away.
Historically an agricultural community with hop gardens and orchards, Ditton has diversified over the 20th century into light industry and warehousing with a notable industrial estate alongside traditional village amenities. You’ll find a parish church, village hall, pubs and active local societies that keep a strong community feel, and remnants of its Kentish rural past in lanes, farm buildings and occasional conservation pockets.
