Headcorn

Headcorn is a village in Maidstone that stretches across the floodplain of the River Beult, with medieval buildings and independent shops lining its main street. The settlement shows typical features of an English country village, with historic structures that still define its appearance today.

Humans settled in this area as far back as the Stone Age, with flint tools providing evidence of early occupation. Later, Bronze Age communities established themselves here, showing that the location remained inhabited over many centuries.
