The Garden of England

Orchard Farm is located in Kennington on the northern edge of Ashford, five miles from the historic village of Wye, in Kent in south east England.

Gentle hills, fertile farmland and cultivated country estates with fruit filled orchards cover the area which is known as the Garden of England. Iconic Kent oast houses also dot the landscape and were historically used as a location to dry hops ready for the brewing process.
