Denton

Denton ward occupies a northern section of Gravesham, bordering the River Thames. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing types from post-war estates to more modern developments. Its landscape is largely flat, with the terrain shaped by its proximity to the estuary. The ward includes local amenities such as schools and community facilities serving its population.

A significant feature is the Denton Marshes, an area of grazing marshland that forms part of the Thames Estuary's ecological network. This open, low-lying land provides a contrast to the built environment and is important for local wildlife. Industrial and logistical sites are also present, relating to the ward's riverside location and transport links. The overall character is one of a settled residential community within a broader estuarine setting.
