The civil parish of Brenchley and Matfield sits within the rolling, wooded farmland of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the borough of Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England. Narrow lanes, orchards and remnants of the old hop and iron-working landscape give the area a distinctly rural character despite its proximity to larger towns.
Both villages retain a strong historic feel with timber-framed cottages, a medieval church in Brenchley and the broad village green and pond that define Matfield. Local life revolves around pubs, village-hall events and community clubs, while the local economy is a mix of agriculture, small businesses and commuters travelling to Tunbridge Wells and London.
