The Hadlow Estate is a family managed working estate in West Kent, centred on Tudeley.
The Estate comprises much of the former Somerhill Estate, the home of the d’Avigdor-Goldsmid family from the 1840s to 1981. Its predominant business is agriculture, but it also owns a range of residential and commercial properties in a variety of tenures. The Estate has significant areas of forestry and heathland under management.
The Hadlow Estate has historically been, and continues to be, an important economic, social and environmental contributor to the borough of Tunbridge Wells.
