Groombridge developed as a nucleated settlement on the rising grounds of the north bank of the River Grom within the wider distinctive valley that extends westwards from Tunbridge Wells. It is characterised by a number of high ridges intersected by a complex network of valleys and is known as the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is located on the edge of west Kent, some seven kilometres to the west of Tunbridge Wells.

Farmlands, as small plots, are available for sale in the area.

Groombridge Land is diverse in size and character as well, the village lies on the steeply sloping south-facing slope which drops down to the valley of the River Grom, a short river that rises in Tunbridge Wells and feeds into the River Medway two kilometres west of Groombridge. This part of the Borough has been designated as ‘Wooded Farmland’ within the Borough Landscape Character Area Assessment.
