Dunton Green and Riverhead lie on the northern edge of Sevenoaks in Kent, England, set where the little valley of the River Darent meets the slopes of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The landscape is a mix of chalk hills, wooded slopes and the river corridor, with easy rail and road links into Sevenoaks and London that make the area popular with commuters while retaining a distinctly village feel.
Both settlements have historic roots in the Darent valley economy - mills, small industry and coaching routes left a legacy of older buildings and lanes - and today the neighbourhood supports local shops, pubs, community groups and schools alongside pockets of light industry and commuter housing. Proximity to Knole and other local green spaces gives residents good access to countryside recreation, and a steady local civic life keeps the places lively without losing their village character.
