Horton Kirby is a small village in the district of Sevenoaks, Kent, England, sitting on the banks of the River Darent in the Darent Valley. It has a distinctly rural feel despite its Victorian and later industrial heritage - the settlement grew up around riverside mills and paper-making - and the valley's chalk-stream ecology makes the area popular with walkers and naturalists.
Today Horton Kirby functions largely as a residential and commuter community within easy reach of London, while local employers such as the water treatment works and small businesses provide a village economy. The Darent Valley Path runs nearby and the village sits between Farningham and Eynsford, giving it a quiet community life centred on the village hall and occasional local events.
