Welcome to Aldington Frith

Aldington Frith is a small village located in the county of Kent, England. The village is situated on the edge of the Romney Marsh, which is a large area of flat, low-lying land that is prone to flooding. Despite this, Aldington Frith has a rich history and is home to several historic buildings, including the 12th-century St. Martin's Church. The village is also surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it a popular destination for walkers and cyclists.

One of the most notable features of Aldington Frith is its proximity to the Kent Downs, which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Kent Downs is a range of hills that stretches from the White Cliffs of Dover to the Surrey Hills, and it is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. The area is also rich in history, with several ancient monuments and historic sites located within its boundaries. Visitors to Aldington Frith can explore the Kent Downs on foot or by bike, taking in the stunning views and enjoying the peace and tranquillity of the countryside.

Despite its rural location, Aldington Frith is well-connected to the rest of Kent and beyond. The village is located just a few miles from the M20 motorway, which provides easy access to London and the rest of the UK. The nearby town of Ashford is also home to a high-speed rail link, which can take passengers to London in just 38 minutes. This makes Aldington Frith an ideal location for those who want to enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside, while still being within easy reach of the city.
