Hernhill is a small rural village and civil parish in the borough of Swale in north Kent, England, a few miles east of Faversham. Set among rolling farmland and orchards typical of the Garden of England, it has quiet lanes, hedgerows and traditional Kentish buildings that give a strong sense of place.

The village has medieval roots and a historic parish church, with agriculture - historically hops and fruit - shaping the local economy; today many residents commute to nearby towns.
