Hadlow Location

Hadlow is a thriving village located on the A26 road between the busy market town of Tonbridge and the county town of Maidstone, with regular bus services to both. The centre of the village is a conservation area with many listed buildings and is known locally as The Square. The community is well-served by local shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as a library and health facilities including a medical centre, dentist and pharmacy. If Kent is the Garden of England then Hadlow must surely be a favourite corner to escape to, surrounded by rural countryside, on the route of many country walks and of course home to the Hadlow College of Agriculture and Horticulture. The historic parish church of St Mary's dates back over a thousand years and the skyline is dominated by the pseudo-Gothic Hadlow Folly. When 18th-century industrialist Walter Barton May thought his wife was having an affair with a local farmer, he wanted to be sure she would never escape his sight. His excessive solution can still be seen today: A 64m tall observation tower that soars above the surrounding Kent landscape from which he could survey the entire village.
