Bean has been a recorded village since the 13th Century, but has only recently been formed as a Kent parish. For tourist destinations, the parish church, dedicated to St Nicholas is worth viewing, as is Beacon Wood Country Park. The park was the site of beacons that were lit to warn of possible invasions during the Napoleonic Wars.
