About

Pembury & Capel ward encompasses a mix of residential and rural landscapes on the eastern fringes of Tunbridge Wells. The area includes the large village of Pembury, which has its own local services and a significant hospital.

Settlement is primarily focused along the A228, with more dispersed homes in the smaller communities and hamlets within the parish.

The geography is characterised by rolling hills and sandstone ridges. A notable local landmark is the historic Pembury Old Church, St Peter's, which stands isolated in fields away from the modern village centre. The ward includes the hamlet of Capel, north of Pembury, which gives the ward its name.
