Rolvenden Layne is a small hamlet in the district of Ashford, in Kent, England. Set within the rolling, wooded landscape of the High Weald, and part of the civil parish of Rolvenden, it is characterised by a cluster of well-preserved timber‑framed cottages and traditional farm buildings that give the settlement a distinctly rural and historic feel.
The local economy remains largely agricultural with a scattering of small businesses, while many residents commute to larger towns. The area is popular with walkers and heritage visitors attracted by quiet footpaths, listed buildings and the tranquil Kentish countryside; socially it retains the feel of a small, close‑knit community.
