Rolvenden & Tenterden West

Rolvenden & Tenterden West ward encompasses a largely rural area of the Ashford Borough, characterised by a mix of agricultural land, woodland, and scattered settlements. The landscape is defined by the expansive greensand ridges and the valleys of smaller streams. The ward includes the historic core of Rolvenden village, with its notable church and linear street pattern, alongside the western outskirts of the larger Tenterden town, where development meets farmland.

A specific feature is the presence of the Kent & East Sussex Railway, a heritage line whose route and operations are a visible part of the local environment. Land use is primarily agricultural, with significant areas of orchard and pasture supporting the local economy. The ward's settlements maintain a distinct separation, preserving a sense of individual community identity within the broader administrative area.
