About

Longfield, New Barn and Southfleet sit in north Kent, forming the Longfield, New Barn & Southfleet ward of Dartford Borough Council. The area mixes small village centres, housing estates and open farmland, with field boundaries and lanes that reflect older parish patterns. Local shops, primary schools and a village hall provide day-to-day services for residents, while pockets of woodland and hedgerows mark the transition from built-up plots to agricultural land.

Southfleet remains a compact settlement with a parish church and a cluster of cottages close to the junction of country lanes, while New Barn is largely residential and links the two villages.
