Pembury is a village and civil parish in the borough of Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England, set on the rolling, wooded landscape of the High Weald between Royal Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge. The village retains a historic core of timber‑framed houses and lanes surrounded by farmland and ancient woodland, and benefits from countryside views while remaining within commuting distance of London.
Locally there is a strong community life with pubs, shops, a cricket club and regular village events; the modern Tunbridge Wells Hospital is also sited in Pembury. Historically the area was shaped by hop growing and orchards, and today it combines small businesses and agriculture with a significant commuter population, giving a mix of rural character and practical amenities.
