Description Incorrect Description? Tell Us!Bearsted is an ancient village in mid-Kent to the east, and some five miles (7km) from the centre, of Maidstone. The original village site was on the north bank of the River Len, and tributary of the River Medway, and at the foot of the North Downs. The centre of Bearsted still retains its village look. There is a large village green, at the opposite of corners of which are two public houses: the White Horse and the Oak On The Green. The parish church is dedicated to the Holy Cross: on three corners of its tower are stone beasts, probably the work of a local mason. There is a tennis club along with a bowls club as well as both a Scout Group (1st Bearsted The Scarlet Pimpernels) and a Guide unit. The current population is thought to be about 10,000.

Communications. The village lies between Maidstone and Ashford and has road and rail links with both:
* Road: the A20 road passes through the village; and junction 7 on the M20 motorway is a mile (2km) to the west
* Rail: Bearsted railway station was opened with the rail line on 1 July 1884: it was originally named Bearsted and Thurnham (the latter a village to the north)
* Footpaths; both the ancient Pilgrims Way and the modern North Downs Way run along the North Downs north of Bearsted
