Molash is a civil parish and village in Kent, South East England. It contains a small part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) - the North Downs - and is on the A252 road between Canterbury, Ashford and Faversham. Each of these is centred 7–8 miles (11–13 km) away.

Geography

[edit]

Molash is a scattered semi-rural community characterised by its own farmland and a borderland forest called King's Wood almost all part of the higher, more wooded village, Godmersham, which was historically a royal hunting forest. The hunt was for deer, and a large herd of Fallow Deer still run free in the wood. The far south is well-marked and maintained as the Pilgrims' Way and North Downs Way pass through the forest as they follow the ridge of the North Downs.

Amenities

[edit]

In the village, St. Peter's Church, built in the 13th century, with a Norman font and mostly 14th-century stained glass windows, was probably built on the site of an earlier church. The Yew trees in the churchyard are 2,000 years old.[3]

Transport

[edit]

The village is centred on the North Downs - on the A252 road between Canterbury, Ashford and Faversham, each 7–8 miles (11–13 km) away.[4]

[edit]

Author Russell Hoban repurposes Molash as "Moal Arse" in his 1980, post apocalyptic novel Riddley Walker.[5]
