Heath Side Kent Map

About Heath Side

Heath Side offers a quietude that settles upon the land like the soft afternoon sun. It lies 4.1 km north-north-east of Swanley (from Swanley: bearing 14°T, OS grid TQ 521 727), and is situated east-north-east of Joyden's Wood village. The broad, open fields surrounding Heath Side, often touched by a gentle breeze carrying the scent of distant chalk downs, speak of a landscape shaped by agriculture rather than industry. Even the houses, with their modest gardens, seem to breathe a little easier here, their brickwork mellowed by years of Kentish weather. One might imagine the occasional farmer, his cart wheels leaving their deep imprint on the unpaved track, a familiar sight in earlier days. The very air seems to hold a certain stillness, a pleasant absence of the urgent clamour that defines busier centres.
