Mid KentTenterden

Tenterden, with its picture book High Street with Wealden weatherboarding, is a busy small town with 17th & 18th century cottages. It was the home of Britain's first light railway in 1872, now restored.

The church, St Mildred's dates from 15th century, and dominates the town being visible for miles.

Out and about, there are lots to visit in the small villages around the town, such as Cranbrook, an Elizabethan Old Cloth Hall,  a church and a working windmill.
