Bridge is a village and civil parish near Canterbury in Kent, South East England.

Bridge village is in the Nailbourne valley in a rural setting on the old Roman road, Watling Street, formerly the main road between London and Dover. The village itself is centred 2.5 miles south-east of the city of Canterbury.

History

It is likely that the parish took its name from "Bregge", a bridge which crossed the river Nailbourne, a tributary of the Stour.[2] The parish church is dedicated to Saint Peter.

Geography

The village is surrounded by a buffer zone, and is almost entirely residential and agricultural. Its layout is a cross between a linear settlement and a clustered settlement.

Amenities

Bourne Park is a Queen Anne mansion with lake, occasionally open to the public, its façade and structure dates mostly to 1702.

The village is home to 3 pubs and a thriving Tennis Club with over 200 active members.
