It is situated on the Weald, about 10 miles (16 km) north of Ashford. Tenterden has a long and rich history, dating back to the Roman times.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The town was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, and was granted its first charter by King Edward I in 1295.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Tenterden was a thriving wool and cloth town in the Middle Ages, and was known for its high-quality woollen goods.<\/p>\n<p>Tenterden began to decline in importance as a wool and cloth town in the 16th century. However, the town remained a popular market town, and was also a centre of the hop industry.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the 19th century, Tenterden became a popular seaside resort.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The town\u2019s well-preserved medieval centre and its beautiful countryside attracted many visitors.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Tenterden was also known for its lively arts and culture scene, and was home to a number of artists and writers, including H.G. Wells and Edward Thomas.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urban75.org\/pics\/tenterden-kent-photos-03.jpg\" alt=\"Tenterden in twilight - 25 evening photos of a picturesque Kent town\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urban75.org\/pics\/tenterden-kent-photos-04.jpg\" alt=\"Tenterden in twilight - 25 evening photos of a picturesque Kent town\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urban75.org\/pics\/tenterden-kent-photos-05.jpg\" alt=\"Tenterden in twilight - 25 evening photos of a picturesque Kent town\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urban75.org\/pics\/tenterden-kent-photos-06.jpg\" alt=\"Tenterden in twilight - 25 evening photos of a picturesque Kent town\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urban75.org\/pics\/tenterden-kent-photos-07.jpg\" alt=\"Tenterden in twilight - 25 evening photos of a picturesque Kent town\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urban75.org\/pics\/tenterden-kent-photos-08.jpg\" alt=\"Tenterden in twilight - 25 evening photos of a picturesque Kent town\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urban75.org\/pics\/tenterden-kent-photos-09.jpg\" alt=\"Tenterden in twilight - 25 evening photos of a picturesque Kent town\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urban75.org\/pics\/tenterden-kent-photos-10.jpg\" alt=\"Tenterden in twilight - 25 evening photos of a picturesque Kent town\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urban75.org\/pics\/tenterden-kent-photos-11.jpg\" alt=\"Tenterden in twilight - 25 evening photos of a picturesque Kent town\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urban75.org\/pics\/tenterden-kent-photos-12.jpg\" alt=\"Tenterden in twilight - 25 evening photos of a picturesque Kent town\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urban75.org\/pics\/tenterden-kent-photos-13.jpg\" alt=\"Tenterden in twilight - 25 evening photos of a picturesque Kent town\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urban75.org\/pics\/tenterden-kent-photos-14.jpg\" alt=\"Tenterden in twilight - 25 evening photos of a picturesque Kent town\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urban75.org\/pics\/tenterden-kent-photos-15.jpg\" alt=\"Tenterden in twilight - 25 evening photos of a picturesque Kent town\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urban75.org\/pics\/tenterden-kent-photos-16.jpg\" alt=\"Tenterden in twilight - 25 evening photos of a picturesque Kent town\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urban75.org\/pics\/tenterden-kent-photos-17.jpg\" alt=\"Tenterden in twilight - 25 evening photos of a picturesque Kent town\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urban75.org\/pics\/tenterden-kent-photos-18.jpg\" alt=\"Tenterden in twilight - 25 evening photos of a picturesque Kent town\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urban75.org\/pics\/tenterden-kent-photos-19.jpg\" alt=\"Tenterden in twilight - 25 evening photos of a picturesque Kent town\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urban75.org\/pics\/tenterden-kent-photos-20.jpg\" alt=\"Tenterden in twilight - 25 evening photos of a picturesque Kent town\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urban75.org\/pics\/tenterden-kent-photos-21.jpg\" alt=\"Tenterden in twilight - 25 evening photos of a picturesque Kent town\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>More about Tenterden<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tenterdenkent.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tenterden town guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tenterden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikipedia entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brixtonbuzz.com\/2025\/01\/in-photos-seven-goal-thriller-as-peckham-town-lose-at-tenterden-town-sat-18th-jan-2025\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Seven goal thriller as Peckham Town lose at Tenterden Town, Sat 18th Jan 2025<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Join the discussion<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a id=\"js-XFUniqueId107\" class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.urban75.net\/forums\/threads\/tenterden-kent-news-photos-and-discussion.386673\/\" data-tp-primary=\"on\" data-xf-init=\"preview-tooltip\" data-preview-url=\"\/forums\/threads\/tenterden-kent-news-photos-and-discussion.386673\/preview\">Tenterden, Kent &#8211;
