Whitehill and Windmill Hill is a residential ward in the borough of Gravesham, Kent, England, characterised by a mixture of post‑war council estates, interwar terraces and suburban housing. The "Windmill Hill" name hints at the area's agricultural past and higher ground, and there are small pockets of green space and local views that contrast with the denser streets.
The community is socially diverse, served by local shops, schools and community centres, and many residents commute to nearby Gravesend or London for work. In recent years the ward has seen local regeneration and community projects aimed at improving housing, amenities and public spaces.
