Wateringbury is a village and civil parish in the borough of Tonbridge and Malling in Kent, England, set on the north bank of the River Medway a short distance from Maidstone. The settlement has medieval origins and a compact conservation area centred on a historic parish church; its riverside location and fertile surrounding land reflect a past shaped by milling, hop-growing and fruit cultivation.
Today Wateringbury is a small, community-minded place with a station on the Medway Valley Line at Wateringbury railway station, providing easy commuter links to Maidstone and Tonbridge. Village life mixes rural character with local clubs, a village hall and a few small businesses, while the surrounding countryside and river remain important to the local economy and leisure offer.
