Living in Goudhurst: The Cranbrook Catchment’s Hilltop Gem

Описание: In 1747, the Goudhurst Militia fought a bloody battle against the Hawkhurst Smuggling Gang in the churchyard. Today, Goudhurst is a peaceful, hilltop jewel famous for its duck pond and outstanding schools. We find the bullet holes in the church door, enjoy the best views in the Weald from the tower, and discuss whether the extra drive to the station is worth it for a spot in the Cranbrook School catchment.
