The plateau is cut by more intricate and intimate wooded ghyll valleys, which are crossed themselves by sunken lanes with characteristic woodland verges. A mixture of historic and more modern farmsteads and farm buildings reflect a working, cultivated landscape. Tunbridge Wells Borough Landscape Character Assessment 36 Character Area 1: Matfield/ Brenchley Fruit Belt Key Characteristics 1) A plateau landscape, consisting of a series of low undulating ridges and intersecting valleys. The Matfield and Brenchley Fruit Belt forms part of the high plateau, with a central ridge of Tunbridge Wells Sandstone. Areas of Wadhurst Clay form the slopes that drop down to the Low Weald in the north and the gentle slopes to the south. The area is composed of a series of minor rolling hills and ridges, with undulating orchard-covered slopes. The plateau is cut by small, long streams draining north eastward to the Medway/Hammer Dyke or the Teise, creating more complex, intricate valley topography. -

It is multi-vallate with an enclosed area of c.10ha and lies just within Surrey, close to the present county boundary with Kent, and with that of East Sussex about 1 mile to the south (figure 1). The hill is at the end of a ridge of Ardingley Sandstone with Grinstead Clay to the north-west and Wadhurst Clay to the south-east. Grinstead, Wadhurst and Weald Clay all contain bands of clay ironstone potentially available for iron production. Also found in Weald Clay are thin (5cm) bands of ‘Cyrena’ limestone, a fossiliferous stone formed and deposited in deep-water conditions during the Cretaceous period. -

The Old Dutch Barn Tong Road | Brenchley | Tonbridge | TN12
The Old Dutch Barn LAND AND Tong Road | Brenchley | Tonbridge | TN12 7HT NEW HOMES Developers Insight Situated in the heart of the glorious Kent countryside, not far from the picturesque village of Brenchley is The Old Dutch Barn, a very stylish contemporary family home that blends beautifully with its spectacular rural surroundings. The property sits on around one-and-a-half acres of rolling land and is surrounded by apple orchards for as far as the eye can see, so it’s an idyllic location, but at the same time, within a matter of minutes you can be in either Tonbridge or Tunbridge Wells, both of which have all of the shops and amenities you could possibly wish for. It’s a location that offers the best of both.” “The building has been clad with rustic timbers, so it has the look of a period barn conversion and therefore melds beautifully with it’s surroundings, but internally it has the layout, look and feel of a much more contemporary home, so it’s perfect for modern family living. An array of gorgeous natural materials have been used, lots of glass to bring in light and enhance the feeling of space, and a neutral colour palette to create a blank canvass for the barn’s new owners. The building was initially completely stripped back we’ve been able to incorporate a wealth of modern technology such as under-floor heating, a Sonos sound system and an intercom system that is operated via a smart phone. The design of the house and each of these extra elements combine to make it a very comfortable family home.” “The barn sits on an old apple orchard, which was cleared, dug over and then re- seeded.” “Outside the sliding doors that lead from the kitchen lead to a huge patio, the rest of the grounds are laid to grass, so again they are a bit of a blank canvass. -

Tunbridge Wells Borough Landscape Character Assessment 104 Character Area 10: Kilndown Wooded Farmland Key Characteristics 1) An intricate topography with a rolling sandstone plateau that forms a series of high ridges which are regularly incised by the thin narrow tributary valleys of the River Teise. The basic underlying geological structure of the Local Character Area is of Tunbridge Wells Sandstone forming high ridges, with Wadhurst Clay and localised thin belts of alluvium deposits in the valleys. A higher proportion of Wadhurst Clay and Ashdown Beds occur to the north and north-east of the area within the network of tributary valleys of the Teise. The three tributaries of the River Teise, the largest of which is the River Bewl, flow in a general south to north direction through the area and have a great influence on its character. -

Dealing with problems – littering and damage, encroachment, danger to the public 11. Summary of monitoring recommendations 12. Appendices, references and further information 1 1. Executive summary Background 1.1 The current Commons management plan was adopted in 2005. At the Conservators’ December 2015 meeting it was agreed that the Freehold Tenants should work with the Warden toward a new ten- year management plan, beginning by commissioning expert advice on: habitats and species conservation; ponds and wetlands; rock outcrops; and trees and woodland preservation and management. A series of expert reviews was carried out over the summer of 2016, as follows: • Habitat management, focusing on grassland and heathland – the Kent High Weald Partnership • Trees - The Living Forest • Rocks – Freehold Tenants with guidance from Natural England • Ponds – Calumma Ecological Services 1.2 The experts commented favourably from a conservation/ecological perspective on the Commons management regime, and did not suggest any radical change to current practice. They offered several improvement recommendations for consideration, most of which have resource implications. These were summarised in an interim report to the Conservators in September and a draft final report in December 2016 together with a summary of the projects to be funded by the Freehold Tenants and the Friends in 2017. -

Landscape Assessment of Kent 2004
CHILHAM: STOUR VALLEY Location map: CHILHAMCHARACTER AREA DESCRIPTION North of Bilting, the Stour Valley becomes increasingly enclosed. The rolling sides of the valley support large arable fields in the east, while sweeps of parkland belonging to Godmersham Park and Chilham Castle cover most of the western slopes. On either side of the valley, dense woodland dominate the skyline and a number of substantial shaws and plantations on the lower slopes reflect the importance of game cover in this area. On the valley bottom, the river is picked out in places by waterside alders and occasional willows. The railway line is obscured for much of its length by trees. STOUR VALLEY Chilham lies within the larger character area of the Stour Valley within the Kent Downs AONB. The Great Stour is the most easterly of the three rivers cutting through the Downs. Like the Darent and the Medway, it too provided an early access route into the heart of Kent and formed an ancient focus for settlement. Today the Stour Valley is highly valued for the quality of its landscape, especially by the considerable numbers of walkers who follow the Stour Valley Walk or the North Downs Way National Trail. Despite its proximity to both Canterbury and Ashford, the Stour Valley retains a strong rural identity. Enclosed by steep scarps on both sides, with dense woodlands on the upper slopes, the valley is dominated by intensively farmed arable fields interspersed by broad sweeps of mature parkland. Unusually, there are no electricity pylons cluttering the views across the valley. North of Bilting, the river flows through a narrow, pastoral floodplain, dotted with trees such as willow and alder and drained by small ditches.
