About Ford

Ford, a quiet corner of Kent, basks in the gentle light that filters through the surrounding countryside. It lies 3.7 km south-east of Herne Bay (from Herne Bay: bearing 134°T, OS grid TR 204 657), and is situated north of Maypole village. The air here carries the faint, earthy scent of cultivated fields, a subtle perfume that speaks of generations of tilling and sowing. Little has changed, it seems, since the days when carts trundled along the lanes, their wooden wheels groaning a low song against the flinty track. The houses, mostly of brick and tile, huddle together as if sharing old stories, their windows glinting like watchful eyes in the afternoon sun. A quiet stillness often settles over Ford, broken only by the distant bleating of sheep or the murmur of wind through hedgerows.
