Paddlesworth is a hamlet and parish located about 3 miles (4.8 km) NNW of Folkestone in Kent, England, near Hawkinge.

A chain of readings was made from high points between the two observatories, including locally from Dover Castle, St Peter's Church, Swingfield, and Aldington Knoll.

[2] It is said of Paddlesworth that it has the "Highest Church, Lowest Steeple, Poorest Parish, Fewest People".

These words can be seen carved in a circle round the edge of the village sign, as seen in the photo above right.

The public house is 'The Cat and Custard Pot', two elements illustrated on the village sign.
