3About Pett Bottom
Pett Bottom is a small Kent village in a sheltered valley about 8km southwest of Canterbury. Access is via the A2050 from Canterbury, then country lanes through Upper and Lower Hardres. The narrow roads connect nearby villages like Bishopsbourne and Bridge, though they're challenging for larger vehicles. With over 100 EV charging points in Canterbury, it's a practical base for exploring the North Downs Way. The village name comes from Old English "pett," meaning pit or hollow.
