Hartley is a village one mile southwest of Cranbrook, in the civil parish of Cranbrook and Sissinghurst, in the Tunbridge Wells district, in Kent, England.

[1] The only retailer in the area is a local farmshop, which has a cafe and fishmongers.

Traditionally, only Hartley natives are eligible for selection- in a policy similar to that of Athletic Bilbao.

They share the hosting of the annual grudge match against their fierce rivals, Gills Green Gulls.

It is a historically hotly contested fixture, with three hospitalisations from crowd trouble in the last ten years.
