The village and civil parish of West Peckham sits in the largely rural district of Tonbridge and Malling in Kent, England. Tucked into rolling farmland and wooded lanes of the Kentish countryside, it retains a quiet agricultural character with hedged fields, orchards and small estate houses; many residents commute to nearby towns such as Maidstone and Tonbridge.
Historically the parish is centred on a medieval church and a handful of listed buildings and former manor houses, and village life revolves around community events, a village hall and local clubs. It feels like a classic Kentish village - peaceful, strongly connected to its landscape and history, popular with walkers and those seeking a rural lifestyle rather than commercial activity.
