Higham is a semi-rural ward in the borough of Tonbridge and Malling, set in northwestern Kent, England. It sits close to the tidal corridor of the River Medway and the edge of the Hoo Peninsula, with rolling farmland and access to country walks that sweep up towards the North Downs; its location also puts it within easy reach of the Medway towns such as Rochester and Gravesend and with commuter links into London.
Locally the ward combines a historic village feel with modern commuter life: there are surviving clusters of older buildings and a village heart but many residents work outside the ward, while small-scale agriculture and local businesses remain important. Community life is centred on village facilities and events, and the area’s landscape - marshes, orchards and chalk slopes nearby - gives it a strong sense of place and attraction for walkers and people seeking a quieter Kentish lifestyle.
