Tonbridge and Malling

The borough stretches from the North Downs to Tonbridge, encompassing towns, villages, and rural landscapes along the Medway Valley and Kent Downs.

Norman influences shaped the region through structures like Tonbridge Castle, initially constructed as an earth-and-timber fort after 1066 and later rebuilt in stone.

The district preserves Neolithic monuments, including Kit's Coty House and the Coldrum Stones, which represent early settlement patterns in the Medway Valley.

The district contains six railway routes and multiple motorways, connecting residents to London while maintaining substantial green spaces within the Metropolitan Green Belt.

The administrative center of West Malling features St Leonard's Tower from 1080 and the Church of St Mary the Virgin, exemplifying Norman architecture.
