About Wye

Wye Village is served by buses and a railway, has a good collection of shops and four churches (Anglican, Methodist, Pentecostal and Roman Catholic). Midday and evening meals can be obtained conveniently at several places in the village. Wye, being environmentally aware, has a local Farmer's Market on alternate Saturday mornings and the village is conspicuous in that 70% of its household waste compared with far less for Kent generally.

Wye Downs are readily accessible from Wye - an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a site of Special Scientific Interest. The Village is home to Imperial College - part of the university of London.

Places reached conveniently from Wye include Ashford (International Station), Canterbury, Dover, Folkestone, the beautiful Leeds castle, the historic town of Rye and Sissinghurst Castle and Gardens. These are described further within 'Places of Interest'.

Wye has now acquired a small commercial art gallery 'Tickyboo' at 145 Bridge Street selling affordable art by three local artists and carefully selected original gifts. Opening times are Tuesday to Friday 9.30 am to 5.00pm and Saturdays 9.30am to midday. We commend this warmly to our visitors.
