Knockholt is a small hilltop village and civil parish in the district of Sevenoaks, Kent, England, set on the crest of the North Downs. Its elevated position gives it a distinctly rural character of rolling chalk countryside, ancient lanes and woodland, with a compact centre of traditional cottages, a parish church and village green that hints at its long history.
Despite the countryside feel, Knockholt sits close to the edge of Greater London (near Orpington and the London Borough of Bromley) and is popular with commuters thanks to rail services at the nearby station. The local economy mixes agriculture and small local businesses, and the village maintains a lively community life with pubs, clubs and annual events that reflect its conservation-minded, largely residential character.
