Plaxtol is a small rural village and civil parish in the borough of Tonbridge and Malling, Kent, England. It sits on the banks of the River Bourne amid rolling farmland and orchards typical of the county, and its cluster of timber‑framed cottages, a parish church and a village green reflect a long history as an agricultural settlement.
Today Plaxtol retains a close‑knit community with a village hall, local clubs and occasional events; economically it remains largely agricultural with a few small businesses, while many residents commute to nearby towns such as Tonbridge and Sevenoaks or to London. The combination of historic buildings and surrounding countryside makes it popular with walkers and those seeking a quieter rural life within easy reach of larger centres.
