Leybourne is a civil parish in the borough of Tonbridge and Malling in Kent, England, lying on the edge of the Medway valley between West Malling and New Hythe. The area benefits from good road links to the M20 and nearby towns, which makes it a popular base for commuters to Maidstone and London while retaining a semi-rural character.
One of the parish’s most distinctive features is Leybourne Lakes Country Park, a network of lakes formed from former gravel workings that now attract watersports, walkers and wildlife. The village blends historic buildings and a small parish community with newer housing developments, local shops and community groups, giving it a mix of quiet village life and more modern, commuter-oriented social and economic activity.
