Four Elms is a small rural village in the district of Sevenoaks, Kent, England, set in the rolling Kentish countryside not far from Edenbridge and the historic village of Hever. The name is thought to come from a crossroads once marked by four elm trees, and the settlement retains a compact, village character with a scattering of traditional cottages and farm buildings.
Historically agricultural, the local economy is now a mix of farming, small businesses and residents who commute to nearby towns or London via neighbouring stations; the area is appreciated for its wooded lanes, orchards and proximity to attractions such as Hever Castle. Social life tends to centre on a village hall and local events, giving Four Elms a close‑knit community feel despite its easy access to larger centres.
