Highgate, Kent

England

Highgate is a small Wealden village near the Sussex border, two kilometres from Hawkhurst. Reach it via the A268, which connects to the A21 for London or Hastings. The area attracts day-trippers from Tunbridge Wells and London seeking countryside drives through hop gardens and ancient woodlands. Electric vehicle drivers will find over 30 fast chargers nearby. Roman iron-working slag heaps still dot the surrounding woods.
