Crockenhill Parish

Crockenhill is a rural village in the Sevenoaks district with a history dating back to at least 1388, when it was recorded as Crockern-Held, meaning “the hill where stands a pottery kiln”. Today, the village retains its rural character and provides access to a range of walking opportunities through the surrounding countryside.

Walkers can learn more about the village’s past by following the Crockenhill Heritage Trail, available from the parish council website. The parish is also well placed for exploring the wider area, with local public rights of way linking to neighbouring communities and the attractive landscapes of the Darent Valley. For those looking for a longer route, a 6.5-mile walk around the area is available from the Eynsford and Crockenhill Rights of Way Group.

More information about the parish and local community can be found on the parish website, while Kent Ramblers provides information about walking opportunities across the county.
