East Malling and Larkfield lies in the borough of Tonbridge and Malling in Kent, England, occupying low-lying ground on the edge of the Medway valley a short drive from Maidstone. The area mixes a compact, historic village character around East Malling with more suburban, post-war housing in Larkfield, and benefits from good road links and nearby rail stations for commuters heading towards London.
Its most distinctive feature is the long association with fruit growing and horticulture - the research work carried out locally has had international influence through the development of rootstocks and orchard techniques - while Larkfield provides retail and community facilities for the surrounding villages. Nearby recreational spots such as Leybourne Lakes and the riverside open space add to the mix of agriculture, leisure and commuter lifestyle that shapes the parish today.
