Knockholt, Shoreham & Dunton Green

Knockholt, Shoreham and Dunton Green sit in the north of Sevenoaks district, with Knockholt arranged along the North Downs escarpment and Shoreham and Dunton Green down the Darent valley. The area mixes arable fields, patches of ancient woodland and river meadow. The River Darent flows through Shoreham and Dunton Green, and the Darent Valley Path follows the river for walkers. Rail links at Knockholt and Dunton Green connect the villages to the wider rail network, and local lanes link the settlements to neighbouring parishes.

Villages retain village greens, a parish church in Shoreham that stands close to the river, and a pattern of small shops and community facilities in Dunton Green. Agriculture and managed woodland shape land use; there are public footpaths across the Downs and along the river that are used for angling and walking. Historic buildings and conservation areas are scattered through the parishes, and seasonal flooding on the Darent shapes the river corridor and adjacent meadows.
