Brook is a small, rural village and civil parish in the Borough of Ashford, in Kent, England. Set on rolling chalk downland within the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it retains a compact settlement of historic cottages and a small parish church, reflecting its long agricultural history and traditional Kentish character.
The local economy has long been shaped by farming, with hop gardens and orchards nearby historically, while today many residents commute to neighbouring towns for work. With quiet lanes, public footpaths and attractive countryside, Brook is popular with walkers and those seeking a peaceful slice of rural Kent, though local services are limited and community life often revolves around occasional village events and nearby market towns.
