The Aylesford North & North Downs ward lies within the borough of Tonbridge and Malling in Kent, England, climbing from the floodplain of the River Medway up onto the chalk ridge of the North Downs. The area mixes small villages, woodland and agricultural land, with good walking terrain and sweeping views across the Kentish Weald.
