The Lees, a quiet hamlet in Kent, offers a gentle embrace of the South East's rolling countryside. It lies 7.7 km north of Ashford (from Ashford: bearing 359°T, OS grid TR 004 503), and is situated south-south-west of Challock village. Here, the air often carries the faint, sweet scent of ripening hops from the surrounding fields, a perfume that has long been a signature of this agricultural landscape. The modest dwellings, some with gardens that spill their colours with an almost defiant exuberance, speak of lives lived in quiet continuity. A sense of enduring peace pervades The Lees, as if the very soil remembers the slow turning of seasons and the quiet industry of generations.
