About Fordcombe

Fordcombe, a quiet corner of Kent, breathes a gentle air under the wide English sky. It lies 5.9 km west-south-west of Southborough (from Southborough: bearing 248°T, OS grid TQ 524 401), and is situated north-east of Ashurst village. The lanes that wander through Fordcombe seem to have a life of their own, winding between hedgerows that hum with unseen insect life and under ancient oaks whose branches cast dappled shadows on the tarmac, a quiet procession of shade and light. There is a feeling here, in the very soil and stone, of a long and undisturbed existence, a place where the seasons turn with a familiar, unhurried grace, and the distant bleating of sheep can carry on the breeze like a whispered secret. The old church, a silent sentinel, watches over the unfolding days, its weathered stone absorbing the changing light of dawn and dusk.
