Westwell is a small rural village and civil parish in the borough of Ashford, Kent, England, set on the scarp of the North Downs. Its elevated position gives pleasant views across the Weald and the surrounding chalk downland; the landscape is a mix of arable fields, orchards and hedgerows, with a network of footpaths popular with walkers.
The village retains a historic core of older cottages and a medieval parish church, and the local economy is still largely agricultural alongside residents who commute to nearby towns. Community life is quietly active, centred on village events and a parish council that seeks to balance conservation of its character with modern rural living.
