About

Joyden's Wood ward is located in the northern part of Dartford, bordering the London Borough of Bexley. The area is largely residential, characterised by suburban housing estates and quiet streets. It contains significant tracts of protected green belt land, which shape its overall character and limit dense urban development. The ward includes the neighbourhoods of Temple Hill and parts of Barnes Cray, providing local amenities and services for its communities.

This woodland, alongside other open areas like Dartford Heath, offers walking trails and natural habitats. The presence of the M25 motorway to the north defines a clear boundary and influences the area's connectivity. Local facilities are focused around community centres and schools, serving the ward's population.
