Rolvenden is a small village in the borough of Ashford, Kent, England, set in the rolling countryside of the Weald and admired for its timber‑framed cottages, village green and historic church. The village core is largely a conservation area, with many listed buildings that reflect its long rural history and position within the characterful landscape often associated with the High Weald.
Historically the local economy was based on agriculture, hops and orchards; today it mixes farming with commuter households and a modest tourist trade. The nearby heritage Kent and East Sussex Railway and the proximity of market towns such as Tenterden bring visitors, while a village hall, pub and local clubs maintain an active social life for residents.
