Crockham Hill & Crockham Grange Farm
Acquired in 1943, this 120-hectare property lies at the foot of the Greensand Ridge Escarpment and the northern half lies within Kent's AONB. Within the woods are many woodland copses and ponds. Crockham is a working farm, mainly arable but with grazing cattle.
The area has a good amount of human history scattered within its boundaries. A medieval moated manor house site exists and a Roman road passes within 100 metres of Crockham.
The property is crossed by many rights of way and has a bye-way running east to west through the centre - the boundary of the designated AONB.
The local primary school lease their playing field from the Trust and are involved in the conservation work. The village holds a fireworks event each year on the farm and the local churchyard is the resting place of one of the Trusts founding members, Octavia Hill.
Within two miles to the north lies Mariners Hill and to the east, Limpsfield common. Footpaths link both National Trust areas.
