Yalding

Three rivers - the Beult, Teise and Medway - meet at Yalding, and are crossed here by three medieval bridges. It is one of the largest hop growing parishes in England and is surrounded by orchards and oast houses. Nearby is the famed Yalding Organic Gardens – a series of themed gardens, all cultivated organically. The Lees on the banks of the River Medway is much favoured for a relaxing afternoon. Here you can visit Teapot Island, with its collection of over 4,000 novelty teapots.

 

The church has an unusual spire, and the area around the church is worth visiting, with the old Town Bridge and its long and narrow stone span providing a picturesque walk over the river.

 

Yalding Farmers Market is held in the High Street on the third Saturday of every month, 10am - 1pm. For more details call 01622 814109.
