Smarden is a civil parish and village, west of Ashford in Kent, South East England. The village has the Church of England-used church of St. Michael which, because of its high scissor beam roof, is sometimes known as ''"The Barn of Kent"''.〔(Kent Resources )〕 ==Amenities and geography== Smarden has a multi-purpose 'Post Office and Stores', Butcher's shop, the West End House Art 'Gallery' (shop and gallery)〔(Art Gallery ).〕 By the three main neighbourhoods are three mostly quite large, family-catering pubs: ''The Flying Horse'', ''The Bell'' and ''The Chequers''. Smaller Maltmans Hill and Haffenden Quarter are well linked and remain tied to the founding neighbourhood which bears the same name as the civil parish. The area is drained by the headwaters of the two major rivers ultimately flowing north, via Maidstone to the west or Ashford to the east. These rivers are the River Medway and the River Stour however many of these headwaters are only seasonal. The civil parish has no A roads, motorways. It briefly has a railway which has a nearby station connected by almost straight lanes to the two major neighbourhoods, Headcorn railway station. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Smarden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
