Broomfield, Herne Bay

Broomfield is a village in Kent, England, divided by the Thanet Way from the seaside town of Herne Bay.

It is part of the Herne and Broomfield civil parish, which according to the 2001 Census had a population of 7,325.

Despite this, there are few shops: aside from the village's post office on Margate Road, there is a mini-supermarket, two takeaways and a hairdresser on Hawe Farm Way.

Located on Margate Road, the Huntsman & Horn overlooks Broomfield Pond.

To the south of Broomfield lies East Blean Woods, while to the south-east is a world-championship standard BMX track, opened in 2007 by BBC presenter Kaddy Lee-Preston on a former landfill site.
