About

Eynsford ward encompasses the village of the same name along the River Darent, situated within the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The area is characterised by its historic core, with flint and timber-framed buildings lining the main street. Lullingstone Castle, a historic manor house with its grounds, forms a significant landmark within the parish. The surrounding landscape consists of rolling chalk downland and agricultural fields, defining the rural character of this part of the Sevenoaks district.

The ward includes the hamlet of Crockenhill to the north. A notable local feature is the shallow ford across the River Darent, from which the village derives its name and which remains a visible part of the landscape. The area is served by Eynsford railway station on the Southeastern line. Community life centres on the village high street, the parish church, and the open public spaces along the riverbank, which provide a focus for local activity.
