Eynsford is a small village and civil parish in the district of Sevenoaks, Kent, England, set in the lower Darent Valley beside the River Darent at the foot of the North Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village still has a picturesque ford across the river, a local railway station with commuter connections to London and a compact high street of shops, cafés and traditional pubs.
The parish is notable for the atmospheric ruins of Eynsford Castle and the nearby Lullingstone Roman Villa, with Lullingstone Castle and its gardens close by; these heritage sites and the Darent Valley Path attract walkers and day visitors, so the local economy mixes agriculture, tourism and commuting. Community life is lively with conservation groups, village events and a strong sense of local history tied to the river and downs.
