Tourist Information |

The village of High Halden lies in the Weald of Kent on the A28 (Canterbury to Hastings road) three miles from the Cinque Port town of Tenterden, which is known as "The Jewel
of the Weald."
With its wealth of historic buildings, museums, vineyards, antique shops, art and craft galleries, and tea-rooms, Tenterden has much to offer, including the Kent and East Sussex Railway Station from which you can journey along the Rother Valley to East Sussex on the grand steam trains.
