Wrotham is a compact village and civil parish in the borough of Tonbridge and Malling, Kent, set on the crest of the North Downs. The nearby Wrotham Hill provides wide, chalky views across the Weald and is crowned by conspicuous transmitter masts that serve as a local landmark; the elevated position has long made the area notable on maps and for navigation.
Historically the parish grew from agricultural roots - hop fields, orchards and mixed farming shaped the landscape - and there are records of settlement here going back to the Domesday era. Today it remains a small, community‑centred place with a parish church, village pubs and local clubs, while being within easy reach of road and rail corridors that link the wider towns such as Borough Green, Sevenoaks and Maidstone.
