Leigh is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Sevenoaks in Kent, England. Set among rolling countryside, it retains a compact historic core with a parish church and several listed buildings, giving a strongly rural, conservation-area feel despite being within commuting reach of London.
Historically the local economy was agricultural, with ties to Kent’s hop and orchard traditions, and today the area combines working farms, small local businesses and a residential population that values community events such as village fetes and clubs; nearby towns provide shops and transport links while the parish keeps a quiet, village atmosphere popular with families and walkers.
