Beltring Hop Farm

Beltring Hop Farm is a working farm in the heart of Kent's hop-growing country, located in an area that has been central to hop cultivation for centuries. The farm still operates as a commercial concern, with hop vines growing in the distinctive rows that characterise the landscape of this part of Kent. The farm offers visitors the chance to see how hops are grown and to understand the agricultural heritage of the region, which once supplied breweries across Britain and beyond.

The farm's location in the Medway Valley makes it accessible to visitors exploring the area, and it serves as a focal point for understanding Kent's agricultural history and traditions. Visitors can see the hop vines at different times of year and understand the work involved in cultivation and harvesting. The distinctive oast houses that dot the surrounding landscape are remnants of the hop-drying tradition. The farm area is popular with those interested in agricultural heritage, local food production and walking routes that pass through hop country. Seasonal visiting may be available, and the farm provides insight into one of Kent's most historic and distinctive industries.
