Known as the ‘Jewel of the Weald,’ Tenterden sits on the edge of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, roughly twelve miles southwest of Ashford. It is defined by its exceptionally broad, tree-lined High Street, which is flanked by a mix of tile-hung Kentish cottages and Georgian facades. While the town no longer has a mainline rail connection - the local station now serves as the headquarters for the Kent & East Sussex Railway steam line - commuters generally use nearby Headcorn or Ashford International for trains into London. Historically, Tenterden grew wealthy through the wool trade and its status as a limb of the Cinque Port of Rye; though the sea receded centuries ago, the town retains a sense of importance as a local hub. Today, it functions as a self-sufficient community with a balance of independent shops, a weekly market, and several well-regarded schools, all surrounded by the vineyards and orchards that characterise this part of the Kentish countryside.
