Brenchley Road, Matfield, TN12

LOCATION Brenchley is one of the most prestigious village locations in the Kentish Weald. Brenchley must have originated as a clearing in the forest. 'Ley' derives from the Saxon, word 'Leigh' meaning clearing. The Kentish rebel leader Wat Tyler is said to have lived in a cottage near Brenchley before he led the peasants' revolt in 1381. The main village street still contains a number of attractive old timbered houses. Brenchley's prosperity flourished at the height of the Wealden iron industry, and the former 'Old Forge' furnace serves as a reminder to its role played.
The village's popular butchery sits facing its small green, the Post Office and, and 'The Bull Inn' (recently rennovated and providing luxury self-catering accomodation) as well as the adjoining 'Little Bull' (wine bar) can be found along its narrow High Street. A doctors surgery and dental surgery are also in the village. 'All Saints' 13th Century Church serves as a reminder to Brenchley's rich history and features an avenue of 400 year-old yew trees.
The Halfway House on the outskirts of the village has an excellent reputation for its quality and award wininning real ales, traditional food, and regular beer festivals on bank holidays. The Poet at Matfield takes full advantage of its country location, and the Hopbine Inn on the outskirts of the village offers a quirkier setting!
