The parish around Wye and Hinxhill sits on the scarp of the North Downs in the borough of Ashford, Kent, England. It is notable for its chalk downland and steep slopes known as the Wye Downs, a mix of farmland, ancient woodland and species-rich chalk grassland; the River Great Stour runs nearby and walkers often use the North Downs Way to take in the views and wildflowers.
Wye has a compact historic centre with timber-framed buildings and the long legacy of an agricultural college, while Hinxhill remains a quieter village clustered around a green. Agriculture (including vineyards and traditional hop and arable farming), local shops, pubs and an active community scene keep village life lively, and good rail and road links via Ashford with connections to London make the area popular with commuters as well as visitors.
