Why Edenbridge & The Eden Valley?
The River Eden meanders through the Eden Valley in the heart of Kent. On either side of the river lies tranquil farmland, broken by quiet country lanes, whilst the rolling hills and woodland conceal a wealth of historic properties and beautiful gardens.

Throughout the valley there are many Kentish towns and villages waiting to be explored, rich in heritage, and all offering a step back into history. Many of the towns and villages have historic churches, charming country pubs and excellent quality restaurants, all with delicious menus. They also have their own colourful and exciting events throughout the year.
