Upper Harbledown Kent Map

About Upper Harbledown

Upper Harbledown, a quiet hamlet where the chalk downs begin their gentle rise, offers a prospect of fields that catch the light with an almost painterly grace. It lies 3.7 km west of Canterbury (from Canterbury: bearing 278°T, OS grid TR 111 582), and is situated west of Harbledown village. The lanes here are often edged with hedgerows that spill over with an abundance of hawthorn and wild roses, hinting at the ancient pastoral rhythm of this place. A faint scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke often hangs in the air, a subtle perfume of the surrounding agricultural lands. The houses, many of them cottages of weathered brick and flint, seem to settle into the landscape as if they have grown there, their roofs catching the diffused light of the South East sky. This is a place where one might pause, listening to the lowing of cattle from a nearby pasture or the rustle of leaves in the ancient oaks that stand sentinel.
