About Hampton

Hampton exhales a quiet contentment, a subtle breath of Kentish air. It lies 1.6 km west-south-west of Herne Bay (from Herne Bay: bearing 259°T, OS grid TR 161 678), and is situated north-west of Greenhill village. Fields, etched with the patient lines of cultivation, spread outwards, their greens deepening under the wide, often luminous sky that presses down upon this corner of the Canterbury district. The lanes that thread through Hampton carry the faint scent of damp earth and the distant bleating of sheep, a sound that has been the countryside's constant murmur for generations. Here, the houses, often of brick that has weathered to a warm, muted red, seem to absorb the very light, holding it in their walls as the day begins to wane. There is a sense of enduring quietude to Hampton, a place where the seasons turn with a gentle inevitability, marked by the subtle shifts in the colour of the hedgerows and the changing angle of the sun.
