Borden Kent Map

About Borden

Borden, a quiet parish, presents a gentle, unassuming face to the Kentish countryside. It lies 2.3 km west-south-west of Sittingbourne (from Sittingbourne: bearing 251°T, OS grid TQ 885 628), and is situated south-east of Chestnut Street village. The land here, a fertile loam, has long been given over to agriculture, and the air often carries the faint, sweet scent of ripening hops from the surrounding fields, a subtle perfume that speaks of seasons past. The village itself, a scattering of houses and the venerable St. Michael's Church, seems to absorb the pale, diffused light of the South East, lending it a certain soft-focus quality. There is a palpable sense of continuity in Borden, a quiet endurance that feels as much a part of the landscape as the ancient hedgerows that trace their way across the fields.
