Hastingleigh - Hastingleigh sits high up in the rolling plateau of the North Downs above the North Downs Way and above the Pilgrims Way which runs along the Kent Downs escarpment. To the north is the road through Waltham village to Canterbury 10 miles away, to the south east is the village of Brook and the rural road on to Ashford 9 miles away. The nearest village with shops and schools is Wye, just 3 miles west along and down the ridge of the Downs. Wye is also the nearest station with trains to Canterbury and to Ashford and on to London.
Mentioned in the Domesday Book, Hastingleigh was on one of a number of north south routes connecting Canterbury with the old Saxon shore line port at Lympne. A little way outside the village is the Church of St Mary’s – worship in this magically peaceful place is recorded from the 1200's.
Hastingleigh is a well kept rural village and a vibrant community complete with its pub – The Bowl Inn; its village pond and a village hall for its many clubs and societies, almost hidden away in the quiet folds of the Kent Downs. Hastingleigh has many links with the neighbouring villages of Elmsted, Waltham, Petham and Bodsham including for its church, clubs and societies and local primary school.
