Welcome to Ripple

Ripple Kent is a small village located in the county of Kent, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Stour and is known for its picturesque scenery and historic landmarks. The village has a population of around 1,000 people and is a popular destination for tourists who come to explore the surrounding countryside.

One of the most notable landmarks in Ripple Kent is the Church of St. Mary the Virgin. This beautiful church dates back to the 12th century and is a fine example of Norman architecture. It features a stunning stained glass window and a bell tower that offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The church is still in use today and is a popular venue for weddings and other special events.

Another popular attraction in Ripple Kent is the Ripple Windmill. This historic windmill was built in 1816 and is one of the few remaining windmills in Kent.

The windmill is also home to a small museum that showcases the history of milling in Kent.
