Edenbridge

Edenbridge is located where the River Eden meets the upper Medway valley, a site intersected by an ancient Roman road that once connected London to Lewes. The town is served by two railway stations that link it to London and surrounding Kent communities.

The settlement began in medieval times at a river crossing called Eadhelmsbrigge and developed into a hub for the Wealden iron industry. The area became known for its wooden buildings and water-powered mills that drove the economy for centuries.

The Eden Valley Museum is housed in a medieval building and holds items that show how farming and craft industries shaped the area over centuries.

The two railway stations offer convenient travel to London and surrounding Kent destinations. Visitors should note that the stations are located separately, so checking which one serves your route is helpful.

The area was historically home to several mills including Haxted Mill and Honour's Mill that used the power of the Eden River. These mill buildings remain visible reminders of the former industrial importance and continue to shape the landscape today.
