Speldhurst is a rural parish in the borough of Tunbridge Wells, in Kent, England, set on the edge of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is characterised by rolling farmland, ancient lanes, timber‑framed cottages and a small medieval parish church, giving the area a distinctly historic and wooded character that attracts walkers and conservation interest.
The local economy remains largely agricultural and residential, with typical village amenities such as a pub, village hall and primary school and an active community life including clubs and sports like village cricket. It also functions as a commuter hinterland with straightforward road and rail links into Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge, and onward into London, so many residents combine rural living with work in nearby towns or the capital.
