The name
Hawkhurst is derived from Old English heafoc hyrst, meaning a wooded hill
frequented by hawks - 'Hawk Wood'. Hurst (Hyrst) in a place name refers to a
wood or wooded area and is used in parts of West Kent and East Sussex.
It is, we are told, two villages in one, but our impression was that Highgate was more like a town.

The Moor, when we reached there, had more of a village feel.
After we explored the church a kind Flower Lady gave us directions for a walk. We came across the Nature Reserve
