Benover is a small rural hamlet in the borough of Maidstone, in Kent, England. Tucked away among rolling fields and country lanes, it feels quintessentially Kentish with traditional farmhouses and cottages set against an agricultural landscape of orchards and hop country.
The settlement has a quiet, close-knit character: historically agricultural, many residents now combine farming with commuting into nearby towns. Local services are limited, so people tend to use neighbouring villages for shops and schools, while walkers and cyclists appreciate the easy access to surrounding countryside and the nearby Kent Downs.
