Aylesford is a village and civil parish on the River Medway in Kent, England, 4 miles (6 km) northwest of Maidstone.
Originally a small riverside settlement, the old village comprises around 60 houses, many of which were formerly shops. Two pubs, a village shop and other amenities including a hairdresser, estate agent, two restaurants, a chiropodist and a coffee shop are located on the high street. Aylesford’s current population is around 5,000
Another huge draw, and a more modern one, to living in Aylesford is its proximity to London, the south-east coast of England, and the rest of Europe across the English Channel. No less than four motorways are within a few miles of Aylesford
