Aylesham & Elvington

About

Aylesham is a planned settlement built in the 1920s to house coal miners for the nearby Kent coalfield. Its layout features wide, straight roads and consistent housing styles from that era. The village centre provides local shops and services for residents. The surrounding landscape is characterised by farmland and the gentle slopes of the North Downs.

Elvington is a smaller, more rural village situated to the east. It is known for the historic Elvington Watermill, a former corn mill on the River Dour. The area is primarily agricultural, with fields and woodland defining its boundaries. A notable local feature is the extensive network of chalk tunnels beneath the area, remnants of its mining past.
