A stunning location
The name Smarden comes from the Saxon for 'butter valley' and 'pasture'.
There are some beautiful walks and footpaths in and around the village with some lovely examples of medieval houses and a choice of three pubs in which to enjoy a refreshment or two!
Don’t miss a visit to St Michael the Archangel commonly known as “the barn of Kent” due to the width of the scissor brace roof which spans an aisle less nave that is 11 metres in width.
Smarden has an excellent local butcher Dave who makes the famous Smarden Sizzler Sausages! Tell Dave you are from The Cloth Hall and I’m sure he will pick out the best ones for you. He also has an excellent selection of local meats and other local produce, such as eggs, dairy and vegetables. We also have a small vintage treasure shop, which is quite fun to browse and a lovely little Art Gallery showcasing great local artists.
If you are feeling slightly more energetic, Smarden has it’s own little running club- ‘Run Rural’ which meets every Sunday at 9.50am at the Sports Pavilion, any age, any ability and they will take you trail running.They also do other sessions on a Monday & Thursday evenings please contact Carl Adams from Run Rural Tel: 07771 932605 for more details.
Smarden also has a tennis court near the sports pavilion, which does need a little TLC but is ideal for a knock about and there is always access to it.
