About

Larkfield and New Hythe are neighbouring settlements within the borough of Tonbridge and Malling. The area is primarily residential, with housing developments ranging from post-war estates to more modern builds, situated along the A20 corridor. Commercial activity is focused around the New Hythe Lane and Leybourne Way retail parks, providing local shopping and services. The landscape is characterised by the presence of the River Medway to the south and areas of mixed woodland.

The area is defined by its proximity to both the river and the M20 motorway, which runs to the north. A notable local feature is the series of former chalk quarry lakes at New Hythe, some of which are now used for recreation and fishing, creating pockets of water amidst the greenery. These industrial remnants have been repurposed, adding a distinct character to the margins of the settlements.
