Ryarsh is a village and civil parish in the local government district of Tonbridge and Malling in Kent, England.

[3] At the time of the Domesday Book (1086) it was in the possession of Odo of Bayeux, half-brother of William the Conqueror.

[4] St Martin's church, on the south side of the M20, is a Grade II* listed building, with parts dating from the 12th century.

[4] In December 2017, Kent County Council (KCC) received a proposal for a new 12-hectare quarry at Ryarsh that would extract 3.6 million tonnes of sand over a period of up to 24-years.

[6] It was strongly opposed by local residents, and in December 2018 KCC excluded the proposal from the county’s Minerals and Waste Local Plan, thereby rejecting the quarry plan.
