Welcome to Yewhedges

Yewhedges Kent is a beautiful and historic village located in the southeastern part of England. The village is known for its picturesque landscapes, charming cottages, and ancient yew hedges that date back to the 18th century. The yew hedges are a unique feature of the village and are considered to be one of the most impressive examples of topiary in the country.

The yew hedges in Yewhedges Kent are a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the gardeners who created them. The hedges are meticulously maintained and shaped into intricate designs that are both beautiful and functional. They serve as a natural barrier to protect the village from the harsh winds that blow in from the English Channel. The hedges also provide a sense of privacy and seclusion for the residents of the village.

In addition to the yew hedges, Yewhedges Kent is also home to several historic landmarks and attractions. The village has a rich history that dates back to the Roman era, and visitors can explore the ruins of a Roman villa that was discovered in the area. There are also several churches and manor houses that are open to the public, offering a glimpse into the village's past. Overall, Yewhedges Kent is a charming and unique destination that is well worth a visit.
