Coursehorn is a small hamlet just to the east of the market village of Cranbrook, within the borough of Tunbridge Wells in Kent, England. It sits in the rolling, intimate countryside of the High Weald, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so the immediate landscape is defined by mixed farmland, orchards, hedgerows and the patchwork medieval field patterns that give the area a distinctive rural character.
Historically the locality has been tied to agriculture - hops, fruit and small-scale farming - and today it feels largely residential with a strong local community that relies on nearby Cranbrook for shops, pubs and events. Coursehorn attracts walkers and cyclists exploring the Weald and benefits economically from rural tourism and easy road links to larger towns when residents commute for work, while still retaining a quiet, village-scale social life.
