Mereworth is a small rural village and civil parish in the borough of Tonbridge and Malling, in the county of Kent, England. It sits amid farmland and parkland and is notable for the impressive 18th‑century Palladian country house Mereworth Castle, whose landscaped grounds shape much of the local geography and give the area a distinctly historic, estate-led character.
Historically centred on landed estates and a compact village core with a parish church, the local economy remains largely agricultural while many residents commute to nearby towns. Social life is quiet and community-focused, with village events and the conservation of historic houses and lanes making it a good example of Kentish countryside with a strong architectural identity.
