About

The Hever, Leigh and Penshurst area sits within the Sevenoaks district of Kent and is shaped by farmland, woodlands and small winding lanes. Hever village is home to Hever Castle, set around a pair of lakes fed by the River Eden; the castle is known for its Tudor connections and its yew maze. Footpaths follow field edges and stream valleys, linking small hamlets and offering views over orchards and coppiced woodland. Local lanes and bridleways are used by walkers and riders rather than heavy traffic.

Penshurst centres on Penshurst Place and its medieval Great Hall, with formal gardens and a deer park that open onto neighbouring farmland. The adjacent cricket ground at Penshurst Park has been used for organised matches since the 18th century, and village houses cluster around a green and a parish church. Leigh remains a compact village with country lanes and historic cottages, providing quiet access to the same network of public rights of way that tie these settlements together.
