Wye, Kent
Wye is a mostly hilly village with a conservation area in Kent, England, centred from Canterbury, and is also the main village in the civil parish of Wye with Hinxhill.〔(Village community website )〕 The population of the ward was 2,282 in 2011. In March 2013 the village was voted 3rd best place to live in the UK by ''The Sunday Times''.
==History==
Wye became an important ancient communications centre because of the ford across the River Great Stour connecting the parts of the ancient trackway across the North Downs at this point. The Romans constructed their road between Canterbury and Hastings using the gap through the North Downs; remains of a Roman camp and villa have been found. By medieval times the town was a market, but in the later 18th century the new turnpike had bypassed the village on the opposite bank of the river; the main A28 road does the same today. Wye railway station was built when the line from Ashford to Margate was opened on 1 December 1846 by the South Eastern Railway.〔(History of Wye )〕
During the First World War, an aerodrome was established at Wye by the Royal Flying Corps, the station becoming RAF Wye in 1918 and closing the following year.
