Welcome to Oare

Oare is a small village located in the county of Kent, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Faversham and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its historic buildings, including the 12th-century church of St. Peter and St. Paul, which is a Grade I listed building. The village also has a number of traditional pubs and restaurants, which serve local food and drink.

One of the main attractions of Oare is its proximity to the Swale National Nature Reserve. This reserve is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including birds, mammals, and insects. Visitors can explore the reserve on foot or by bike, and there are a number of guided tours available. The reserve is also a popular spot for birdwatching, with a number of rare species to be seen.

Oare is also home to a number of annual events, including the Oare Gunpowder Works Festival. This festival celebrates the village's history as a centre for gunpowder production in the 17th and 18th centuries. The festival includes a range of activities, including re-enactments, music, and food stalls. Other events in the village include the Oare Village Fete, which takes place in the summer, and the Oare Arts Festival, which showcases the work of local artists.
