Egerton is a small village and civil parish in the Borough of Ashford in Kent, set in undulating countryside between the North Downs and the Kentish Weald. The settlement retains a distinctly rural character with a mix of flint and timber-framed buildings, lanes and farmland that make it popular with walkers and anyone seeking a quiet patch of the Kentish countryside.
Historically agricultural, the village still feels like a traditional community with local events, a parish council and small-scale enterprises rather than heavy industry, while many residents commute to nearby market towns and larger centres. Its position within easy reach of Ashford and other local towns such as Tenterden means it combines a peaceful rural life with access to broader services and transport links.
