Painters Forstal

Painters Forstal

The word forstal is a corruption of the word 'forestall'. Drovers of sheep and cattle on their way to market in earlier centuries would have often needed to overnight at a public place where they could water and graze their animals. There the animals would be stalled before market - hence the word to forestall.

Painters Forstal is a village in the Borough of Swale in Kent, England.Painters Forstal is a small homely village full of friendly people. It contains a brilliant pub called the Alma which does the best sizziling chicken in the world. It also has a beautuful country park called lorenden, which looks amazing in the winter snow. I would advise anyone to live there as you could not find a better village. But watch out for the village mole. Your lawn will never be the same again!
