Brasted Chart is a small, largely rural parish in the district of Sevenoaks, Kent, England, sitting on the wooded slopes of the Greensand Ridge overlooking the Weald. The word “Chart” is a Kentish name for rough common land, and the area is characterised by scattered farms, ancient woodland and commons such as nearby Toys Hill, making it popular with walkers and anyone after quiet country views.

Historically agricultural, the parish now mixes traditional farming with a commuter population drawn by good road and rail links into Sevenoaks and London. It retains a strong village feel with a small, close-knit community, historic houses and lanes, plus local events centred on the church and village facilities rather than any heavy industry or large commercial centres.
