Tenterden: The Jewel of the Weald
History Woven into Every Street
Tenterden, first recorded in the Domesday Book (1086), flourished in medieval times as a vital wool and shipbuilding centre—with sea access via Smallhythe. In 1449, it joined the prestigious Cinque Ports network, granting it self-governance and civic honours. Remarkably preserved, its broad tree-lined High Street showcases timber-framed and Georgian architecture, complete with the 12th-century St Mildred's Church and historic Town Hall.
A Place of Community & Culture
Tenterden's heritage shines through in its thriving local culture. The volunteer-run museum exhibits 1,000 years of history—from hop farming and Roman roots to the Cinque Ports era. Explore artisan shops, savour fine dining at venues like The Swan at Chapel Down, or join in at the Tenterden Folk Festival and Christmas Market that bring every age together.
Scenic Heritage & Heritage Steam
Vintage charm meets countryside splendour on the Kent & East Sussex Railway, offering steam rides through the Weald to Bodiam Castle. Nearby, Chapel Down vineyard—England's largest wine producer—is celebrated for its winery tours and acclaimed sparkling wines.
