Trench is an electoral ward in the borough of Tonbridge and Malling in Kent, England, that blends suburban housing with pockets of farmland and green space. Residents benefit from straightforward road and rail connections for commuting to Tonbridge and London, while local shops, pubs and community halls help sustain everyday village‑style amenities.
The ward developed from an agricultural landscape into mainly residential neighbourhoods across the 19th and 20th centuries, so modest historic buildings and parish features sit alongside post‑war housing. The local economy is a mix of small businesses and commuters, and active community groups and school activities give Trench a strong social feel despite its proximity to larger towns.
