Tenterden is a town with a large conservation area in the Ashford District of Kent, England. It stands on the edge of the remnant forest The Weald, overlooking the valley of the River Rother. It was a member of the Cinque Ports Confederation.
Its riverside today is not navigable to large vessels and its status as a wool manufacturing centre has been lost. Tenterden has several voluntary organisations, some of which are listed below, seven large or very old public houses within its area and has long distance walking and cycling routes within its boundaries. The town's name is derived from the Old English Tenet Waraden, meaning a den or forest clearing in the forest which belonged to the men of Thanet.
The first record of dwellings in Tenterden can be found in a charter which mentions that it, as 'Heronden', began to grow from the 14th century around the strong local wool industry. Unlike other such centres in the Weald it had the advantage of access to the sea. Much of what is now Romney Marsh was under water, and ships docked at nearby Smallhythe. Timber from the Wealden forests was used to construct ships, and in 1449 Tenterden was incorporated into the Confederation of Cinque Ports as a limb of Rye. Ships built in the town were then used to help Rye fulfil its quota for the Crown.
In 1903, Tenterden Town railway station was opened. It closed in 1954, but half of it reopened in 1974 as the Kent and East Sussex Railway. The route starts at Tenterden Town Station and finishes at Bodiam station, near Bodiam Castle. The main line track is being extended to Robertsbridge (near Hastings) in East Sussex.
Tenterden is a nodal centre with routes radiating to Rolvenden and Hastings (A28), Wittersham and Rye (B2082), Appledore and New Romney (B2080), Woodchurch and Hamstreet (B2067) and Ashford and Maidstone (A28/A262). Tenterden has no mainline railway station, with the nearest being Headcorn (9 miles) and Ashford International (12 miles).
Tenterden's broad, tree-lined High Street offers a selection of shopping facilities, making the town an important destination for a number of smaller towns and villages in the area. It has a busy town centre which is home to many small boutiques and antique shops, as well as craft shops, book shops and various banks, side by side with larger national retailers. There is also a large Tesco which is accessible to pedestrians from the High Street (and by vehicles from Smallhythe Road), and a Waitrose store accessed by pedestrians from Sayers Lane (with vehicular access from Recreation Ground Road).
( Tenterden - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Tenterden . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Tenterden - UK

Tenterden Town in Kent, the jewel of the Weald . Our hidden paths
Tenterden is a town with a large conservation area in the Ashford District of Kent, England. It stands on the edge of the remnant forest The Weald, overlooking the valley of the River Rother. It was a member of the Cinque Ports Confederation. Its riverside today is not navigable to large vessels and its status as a wool manufacturing centre has been lost. Tenterden has several voluntary organisations, some of which are listed below, seven large or very old public houses within its area and has long distance walking and cycling routes within its boundaries.
The town's name is derived from the Old English Tenet Waraden, meaning a den or forest clearing in the forest which belonged to the men of Thanet.
History
The first record of dwellings in Tenterden can be found in a charter which mentions that it, as 'Heronden', began to grow from the 14th century around the strong local wool industry. Unlike other such centres in the Weald it had the advantage of access to the sea. Much of what is now Romney Marsh was under water, and ships docked at nearby Smallhythe. Timber from the Wealden forests was used to construct ships, and in 1449 Tenterden was incorporated into the Confederation of Cinque Ports as a limb of Rye. Ships built in the town were then used to help Rye fulfil its quota for the Crown.
A school was in existence here in 1521; later (in 1666) it was referred to as a grammar school. Today Homewood School and Sixth Form Centre, a large secondary school catering for the Weald and south of Ashford Borough is in Tenterden.
In 1903, Tenterden Town railway station was opened. It closed in 1954, but half of it reopened in 1974 as the Kent and East Sussex Railway. The route starts at Tenterden Town Station and finishes at Bodiam station, near Bodiam Castle. The main line track is being extended to Robertsbridge
Churches and chapels
There are two parish churches, as well as a number of other chapels and religious meeting spaces:
St Mildred's (Anglican) is in the main part of the town. The church dates from the 12th century, and was progressively enlarged until 1461, when the distinctive tower was constructed. It was one of the churches in the 1588 system of warning beacons.
It was a major surveying point in the Anglo-French Survey (1784–1790) to calculate the precise distance between the Paris Observatory and the Royal Greenwich Observatory, overseen by General William Roy.
St Michael and All Angels (Anglican). The suburb now called St Michael's was known as Boresisle until Victorian times, when a church dedicated to St Michael was built to serve this community. The church was consecrated in 1863, but construction of the steeple took a further 12 years.
St. John the Baptist (Anglican).
St. Mary's Church (Anglican).
St. Andrew's Catholic Church.
Trinity Baptist Church.
Zion Baptist Church.
Jireh Chapel: Strict Baptist church.
The Methodist Church.
The Unitarian Chapel, originally called the Old Meeting House, was built c. 1695. A plaque on the wall records that Dr Benjamin Franklin worshipped here in 1783, where he was to hear Joseph Priestley preach.

Levittown 1951
This is the Newman family at 55 Vista Lane in levittown, NY 1951. I am Neil, 6 years old and there is my sister Donna, 4, and our parents Abe and Florence. Also visiting are my mother's parents, Jacob and Ida Life from Brooklyn NY. What a loving time it was and a wonderful place to grow up. Seeing this 8mm movie converted to digital video makes these moments live forever within me.

SWC Free Walk 113, Tenterden to Rye. 27/6/11
A delightful 13.4 miles through the High Weald of Kent and East Sussex. Steam trains, meadows, wooded valleys, lakes, fields and orchards all feature on this walk, which focuses on the High Weald Landscape Trail.
Reaching Tenterden by bus, the walker then follows the Trail to Smallhythe Place and then on to Wittersham, for an optional pub lunch (not taken here) .
Afterwards, it's on over The Rother Levels to the village of Peasmarsh before a gradual descent from the hills for a walk beside the River Tillingham into historic Rye.
A very pleasant walk but with potential to be very muddy after rain.
(Foxglove is the crimson flower seen here and the amphibians are Frogs, not Toads).
