About Hillborough

Hillborough breathes with the quiet grace of a place content in its own being. It lies 3.2 km east of Herne Bay (from Herne Bay: bearing 95°T, OS grid TR 208 680), and is situated north-east of Broomfield village. The gentle slopes of the land here, kissed by the pale Kentish light, give way to fields that seem to hold the memory of ancient cultivation. A subtle scent of damp earth and distant sea air often drifts through the lanes, a reminder of its proximity to the coast. The houses, many of them built with the warm, honeyed tones of local brick, stand with a sturdy, unpretentious charm, their gardens often bursting with the vibrant hues of hardy perennials. Though not a place of grand pronouncements, Hillborough possesses a quiet dignity, a sense of continuity in its well-tended spaces.
