Crockenhill is a small village and civil parish in the district of Sevenoaks, Kent, England, lying close to the border with Greater London and near towns such as Swanley and Eynsford. Set on gentle high ground within easy reach of the Kent Downs and the Darent Valley, it keeps a rural character while offering good transport links into London, so many residents commute to the capital or nearby towns.
The village has the familiar mix of a village green, a pub and an active village hall with local clubs and events; architecture ranges from older cottages to more modern housing. Historically rooted in agriculture and other small rural trades, Crockenhill today feels like a close‑knit community that balances country living with commuter convenience.
