About Aylesford

Aylesford, a place where the River Medway flows with a quiet murmur, whispers tales of centuries past. It lies 4.0 km south-east of Snodland (from Snodland: bearing 137°T, OS grid TQ 730 589), and is situated west-north-west of Forstal village. The ancient priory, a noble testament to faith and architecture, stands with a serene dignity, its stone walls bathed in the soft, diffused light characteristic of Kentish skies. Cobbled lanes, worn smooth by generations of footsteps, wind between buildings that seem to lean in, sharing secrets of trade and community. The air here often carries the faint, sweet scent of hops from surrounding fields, a reminder of the agricultural heritage that has long shaped this landscape. Aylesford’s village green, a generous expanse of emerald, offers a tranquil heart, inviting repose beneath the gentle sway of mature trees.
