Frittenden is a small rural village and civil parish in the borough of Tunbridge Wells, in Kent, England, set in the rolling countryside of the Kentish Weald. It retains a distinctly rural feel with timber‑framed cottages and traditional oast houses scattered among farmland, and a medieval parish church at its heart that hints at a long local history.
Historically shaped by agriculture - in particular hop growing and orchards - the village today is a quiet residential community with a village hall, active church life and occasional local events; lanes, bridleways and hedged fields make it popular with walkers. While much of the economy is now commuter‑oriented, the area still preserves a strong sense of local identity and countryside character.
