About

Stone Castle ward lies in the northwest of Dartford, bordered by the River Thames to the north and the Dartford Marshes. The area is characterised by industrial estates, logistics hubs, and the expansive Littlebrook Power Station site, which has been a major feature. The landscape is largely flat and open, with significant infrastructure including the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge and the Dartford Crossing approach roads dominating the skyline.

The ward contains the historic Stone Castle itself, a Grade II listed building now used as offices, set within its own grounds. Much of the land is allocated for employment and port-related activities, with limited residential areas. The presence of the River Darent meeting the Thames here has long influenced its industrial development, creating a distinct environment separate from Dartford's town centre.
