Tenterden

Tenterden is an attractive town on the northern fringes of the Weald and also has one of the prettiest High Streets in the country. First settled in the 7th century when some monks from Thanet made a clearing in the woods, it flourished throughout the Middle Ages as a prosperous wool town.

William Caxton, inventor of the first ever printing press, is said to have been born in the town in 1422 and a local pub bears his name.
