Plaxtol is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Tonbridge and Malling in Kent, England. Set in the Kent countryside, it retains a distinctly rural character with winding lanes, hedgerows and a scattering of timber‑framed and stone cottages that reflect its long history.
Historically centred on agriculture - particularly orchards and hop growing - the village still shows that agricultural legacy alongside a small medieval parish church and other older buildings. Today Plaxtol has a close‑knit community feel with local events and village facilities, while many residents commute to nearby towns, so it combines quiet country life with easy access to larger centres.
