New Ash Green Tennis Club

The tennis courts at New Ash Green sit in a proper village setting just south of Sevenoaks, where the clay and hard courts serve both casual players and serious club members. It's a functioning sports venue rather than a tourist attraction, so expect to find people actually playing rather than wandering through - this isn't somewhere you pop in to sightsee. If you're a keen player or want to knock a few balls around while staying in the area, it's worth ringing ahead to check membership options and court availability. The village itself is unremarkable, but that's almost the appeal - it's the kind of place where locals take their tennis seriously without the fuss. For families based at nearby Thriftwood Country Park or Badgells Wood Camping, it could work as an activity if someone in the group actually plays. Otherwise, you're better off exploring Sevenoaks town itself or using your park time for woodland walks instead. The Gatehouse Wood Country Park and surrounding areas offer far more appeal for a proper Kent break.
