Ightham is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Tonbridge and Malling in Kent, England. It sits amid rolling countryside near the Greensand Ridge and the North Downs, and is best known for the moated medieval manor of Ightham Mote, a National Trust property set in ancient woodland and gardens that gives the area a very picturesque, historic feel.
The village has a conserved historic core of timber‑framed cottages and listed buildings and a lively community life centred on a pub and village hall; the local economy remains largely rural with farms, horticulture and small businesses, while many residents commute to nearby towns and London. It’s popular with walkers and history enthusiasts and prized for its tranquil, well‑preserved character.
