Iwade itself derives its name from a traditional term for a ‘crossing to island’, the island in question being the Isle of Sheppey which is an area of protected wildlife popular with fishermen, walkers and cyclists.
Iwade enjoys easy access to the M2 motorway and is just a short stroll from rolling wheatfields, burgeoning orchards and the wild North Kent marshlands which are criss-crossed by narrow lanes and footpaths.
The village itself, with its quiet streets and strong identity, is centred around All Saints, one of the oldest Anglo Saxon churches in the country.
