Frittenden is a small rural parish in the borough of Tunbridge Wells, Kent, in the rolling farmland of the High Weald. The settlement is noted for timber‑framed and brick cottages, oast houses and old orchards; narrow lanes, a medieval church and historic farmsteads underline its long agricultural heritage.
Today agriculture still matters locally, but many residents commute to larger centres such as Tunbridge Wells and Maidstone. Community life revolves around the village hall, the local pub and annual events like the village fete, while surrounding woods and hedgerows make it a pleasant spot for walkers and those seeking a quieter rural lifestyle.
