Bidborough is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Tunbridge Wells, in Kent, England, sitting on rising ground in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty a few miles north‑west of Royal Tunbridge Wells. Its elevated position gives wide views across the Weald and makes the surrounding lanes and woodlands popular with walkers and riders.
The village retains a distinctly rural character, with a mix of historic buildings, a village hall, local clubs and a primary school that help sustain a busy community life; there is also a small local economy of farms, trades and services while many residents commute to Tunbridge Wells or London. Historic roots and community events such as fetes and sports fixtures keep the social fabric strong, balancing countryside living with easy access to nearby towns.
