Capel is a rural civil parish in the borough of Tunbridge Wells, in Kent in south‑east England. Set on the wooded, undulating landscape of the High Weald, it includes small villages such as Tudeley and Five Oak Green and is characterised by farmland, hop gardens and distinctive oast houses; agriculture and small local businesses remain important to the local economy.
The area blends historic charm with an active village life - Tudeley is especially noted for its church with stained‑glass windows by Marc Chagall - while community halls, pubs and seasonal hop traditions keep social ties strong. Its countryside setting yet reasonable connections to nearby market towns make it popular with people seeking a rural base within easy reach of urban services.
