Hadlow keeps a parade with butcher, baker, post office, two pubs (the Artichoke, the Two Brewers) and a Co-op. Daily life intact, unusually so for a Wealden village this size.

The Medway runs through the parish, with walks east and west. Hop gardens, orchards and the Wealden lanes start at the village edge.
