Welcome to Hollingbourne

Hollingbourne is a charming village located in the county of Kent, England. It is situated on the southern slope of the North Downs, and it is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its historic buildings, including the 13th-century church of All Saints, which is a Grade I listed building. The church has a beautiful Norman doorway and a 14th-century tower, and it is a popular destination for visitors to the village.

Hollingbourne is also home to the famous Leeds Castle, which is located just a few miles from the village. The castle is set on an island in the middle of a lake, and it is surrounded by beautiful gardens and parkland. The castle has a rich history, and it has been owned by many famous figures over the years, including King Henry VIII. Today, the castle is open to the public, and visitors can explore the castle and its grounds, as well as enjoy a range of activities and events throughout the year.

In addition to its historic buildings and attractions, Hollingbourne is also a popular destination for walkers and cyclists. The village is located on the Pilgrims' Way, which is a long-distance footpath that runs from Winchester to Canterbury. The path passes through some of the most beautiful countryside in England, and it is a great way to explore the area. Cyclists can also enjoy the many quiet country lanes that surround the village, which offer stunning views of the North Downs and the surrounding countryside.
