Marlpit Hill is a small hillside locality on the western edge of Sevenoaks in Kent, England, rising towards the Greensand/Chalk fringe that frames the town. It sits close to the well‑wooded parkland around Knole Park and the rolling countryside of the North Downs, so the area mixes suburban streets with easy access to rural walks and local green space.
The name reflects a local agricultural past - marl pits were dug to recover lime‑rich clay used to improve soils - and today the neighbourhood is typical of the Sevenoaks commuter belt, combining period and modern housing, local shops and a community focused on schools, leisure and links into London. Its quiet lanes and proximity to notable historic and natural sites give it a distinctly Kentish character.
