The Darent Valley is a landscape of remarkable beauty, history, and cultural significance, stretching from Westerham to Dartford. Just 15 miles from London, it provides a tranquil escape, yet remains vulnerable to urban pressures. Defined by the meandering River Darent, this diverse landscape consists of chalk grasslands, ancient woodlands, and historic parklands. The valley has inspired artists, sustained communities, and played a vital role in shaping Kent’s heritage.
