Edenbridge is a town and civil parish in the Sevenoaks district of Kent, England. The town's name derives from Old English language Eadhelmsbrigge. It is located on the Kent/Surrey border on the upper floodplain of the River Medway and gives its name to the latter's tributary, the River Eden. Edenbridge has a population of around 9,000.
Owing to its position on the River Eden floodplain, the centre of the town is prone to severe flooding. The worst flood occurred in 1958, before any flood defences were built, and led to enormous damage to Edenbridge High Street. Ten years later in 1968, despite the Eden having been dredged to prevent the same occurrence, the town was once again flooded after heavy storms. Although there were no fatalities, a helicopter was needed to save a man from his flooded home. Local legend has it that he hadn't noticed the flood waters rising, having been too engrossed in The Forsyte Saga on television. More adequate flood defences have been built since then, with the local community now well prepared to deal with possible flooding.
Edenbridge has had four mills over the centuries, Haxted Mill and Honour's Mill on the River Eden, Christmas Mill on a tributary of the Eden, and a windmill to the south of the town. All four mill buildings survive, but now converted to other uses.
There are two railway stations serving Edenbridge. The earliest, on the South Eastern Railway (SER) route from Redhill to Tonbridge, was opened on 26 May 1842. The station, simply named Edenbridge, is located in Marlpit Hill. To the west of that station the route crosses what was once the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway main line from London to Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne (via Lewes), opened on 2 January 1888. The crossing of the two lines takes place at a mid-break in the Edenbridge Tunnel on the SER line. Here lies the second station, named Edenbridge Town. The line serving it is now truncated at Uckfield. There is no connection here between the two routes: Edenbridge is not a junction; one existed four miles (6 km) to the west of Edenbridge Town at Crowhurst, but that junction no longer exists. All services at both stations are operated by Southern, which manages both stations. All services at Edenbridge Town station run to and from London Bridge, whereas services at Edenbridge station run to and from London Victoria.
Edenbridge is twinned with Mont-Saint-Aignan in France. The bypass that was built in the early 2000s to relieve traffic pressure on the old, narrow High Street is named Mont St Aignan Way. There are two banks in the town, a post office next to the church and a number of major retail chains. Despite being a relatively small town, Edenbridge boasts its own hospital - The Edenbridge War Memorial Hospital. Initially a cottage hospital built to care for soldiers returning from The First World War, a purpose built building was established to the south of the town in 1931. With an Out Patients Department, Physiotherapy facilities and a Minor Injuries Unit the hospital is a major part of the fabric of the town. In recent years the hospital has been faced with closure many times, on each occasion it has been saved by local campaigners and townspeople, who see the hospital as an essential part of the community.

Places to see in ( Westerham - UK )
Westerham is a town and civil parish in Kent, England, 5 miles west of Sevenoaks. It is recorded as early as the 9th century, and was mentioned in the Domesday Book in a Norman form, Oistreham. (compare Ouistreham in Normandy, Oistreham in 1086). Hām is Old English for a village or homestead, and so Westerham means a westerly homestead. The River Darent flows through the town, and formerly powered three watermills.
There is evidence that the area around Westerham has been settled for thousands of years: finds such as a Celtic fortification (c 2000 BC) and a Roman road are close by, along with the remains of a Roman encampment just past the ruins of a tower south of the town at the summit of Tower Woods. The tower dates back to the 18th century, and was originally constructed by the owners of Squerryes Court as a folly for their children's amusement.
The manor was originally run by Godwin, Earl of Wessex and later by his son Harold Godwinson the last Saxon King of England. The first Norman lord of Westerham was Eustace II of Boulogne, and the town appears in the Domesday Book as Oistreham. By 1227 Henry III granted Westerham a market charter, making the new village a major player in the buying and selling of cattle in Kent, a tradition that survived to 1961 when the last cattle market was held. St Mary's Church is thought to date from the 13th century, although it is much altered in Victorian times. In 1503 the Protestant martyr John Frith was born in the town.
In 1922 Winston Churchill MP purchased Chartwell Manor on the outskirts of Westerham, which, apart from the time he spent at 10 Downing Street, was his home for the rest of his life. Chartwell is now administered by the National Trust. There is a statue of Sir Winston Churchill on the village green at Westerham. It was sculpted by Oscar Nemon and stands on a base of Yugoslavian stone, the gift of Marshal Josip Broz Tito.
Chartwell is accessible from the B2026 from either Westerham to the north or from Edenbridge to the south. From the M25-junction 6, then east along the A25 via Oxted and the B269, or M25-junction 5/M26/A21, then west along the A25 near Sevenoaks and south down the B2026; or get the 246 bus to Chartwell in the Summer.
Westerham is served by the Transport for London bus service 246 with services to Bromley via Hayes and Biggin Hill, as well as the go route 401 to Sevenoaks and Southdown 594 and 595 to Tatsfield, Limpsfield and Oxted. The nearest rail link to Westerham is at Oxted station. Westerham is on the A25 road running along the Vale of Holmesdale, slightly south of the M25 motorway. The A233 road goes north to Biggin Hill and Bromley.

Edenbridge an UK village walk, 1 day tour from London
Edenbridge is a town and civil parish in the Sevenoaks district of Kent, England. Its name derives from Old English Eadhelmsbrigge (meaning Eadhelm's Bridge). It is located on the border of Kent and Surrey, on the upper floodplain of the River Medway and takes its name from that river's tributary, the River Eden. The town had a population of 7,808 in 2011.
Known as the gateway to the beautiful Eden Valley, Edenbridge houses a practical mix of butchers, independent shops, cafes and pubs along its distinctive High Street. Edenbridge's spot on the main route to London made it popular with the Romans, who first paved the High Street.

Hever Castle, Kent, England
Hever Castle is about 30 miles south-east of London. It was built in the 13th century, as a country house, (not a fortified castle). It's smaller than a military fortress, but maintains many of the features. (A drawbridge and portcullis.... for guests?) Despite the ambiguous history, this is clearly one of the most picturesque landmarks of Britain. Scholars, and celebrities, call it a favorite.
Anne Boleyn, 2nd queen consort to Henry VIII, spend her youth here. The castle is full of references to Henry, Anne, and the ill-fated wives.
Visitors can wander the magnificent halls. Ample historical information is provided through media, and a helpful staff, (some in costume).
The gardens are a central attraction. The estate includes a lovely lake, specialty gardens, and an Italian garden with bits of neoclassical architecture.

Kent Countryside walk via National Trust Chiddingstone & Hever (swcwalks)
As lockdown rules relaxed, Andy and I met up with our friend Beck to go for a long, Kent countryside walk - starting in Hever and ending in Leigh. During this Kent walk, we passed Hever Castle, where Anne Boleyn courted Henry VII, walked through Chiddingstone village, an impressive Tudor village, with a half-timbered house or two, mostly owned and managed by the National Trust (The church, school and Chiddingstone Castle aside). After more hiking through the English countryside, we arrived into Penshurst with a magnificent entry - under a medieval house! Penshurst Place, built in the 1th century, was easier to view than the earlier Hever Castle. This is one of several hiking England travel vlogs - many of which are in the South East of England and can be done as day trips from London, so if you've enjoyed this video, please do check out my other ones too.
