Brabourne is a small rural village and civil parish a few miles south‑east of Ashford in Kent, England. Set on rolling agricultural land at the edge of the North Downs foothills, the parish includes the larger settlement of Brabourne Lees and combines period cottages and farms with some more recent housing.
With medieval roots and a traditional parish church at its heart, the local economy remains largely agricultural - orchards and former hop fields are part of the landscape - while many people commute to Ashford or beyond by rail. Community life is active for a village of its size, centred on the village hall, clubs and occasional fêtes, and the surrounding footpaths make it popular with walkers exploring the Kent countryside.
