Hawkhurst sits in the TN18 postal district of Kent and is best known for its connection to the Hawkhurst branch line, a short railway that historically linked the village with Cranbrook, Goudhurst and Horsmonden, and extended to Paddock Wood. The line also provided access to the South Eastern and Medway Valley lines, covering a distance of 11 miles 24 chains. Though the branch line is no longer in operation, its legacy remains a notable feature of the locality’s history, reflecting the village’s past role as a modest transport hub within the rural landscape of Kent. The surrounding area retains a quiet, village character, with close proximity to neighbouring settlements and the broader transport network that once served the region.
