Brimming with a history that stretches back to the stone age, Dartford is the principal township in the Borough of Dartford, Kent. It's nestled snugly 18 miles southeast of Central London, making it an ideal getaway for city dwellers. Dartford is deeply rooted in the London Basin, cradled by marshes and clay deposited by the Rivers Darent and Cray. A bustling market town in the medieval times, Dartford served as an important waypoint for pilgrims and travellers returning from Canterbury and the Continent.

Carrying a rich industrial and cultural legacy, Dartford was a hub of brewing, paper-making, lime-burning, chalk-mining, and iron-making in yesteryears. Today, it blooms as a vibrant and cosmopolitan town, yet maintaining its charm of yore. With its town centre located in a charming valley, Dartford attracts visitors with its open spaces like Central Park and Dartford Heath, making it a haven for lovers of nature and outdoor activities.

When to visit Dartford

For those looking to visit Dartford, be reminded that it boasts an oceanic climate. The warmest months are June, July, and August, offering perfect temperatures to enjoy the numerous outdoor activities. The seasons with the least likelihood of precipitation are March, April, and September, ideal for those who prefer not to tote about an umbrella.

Surprisingly, tourism slows down during June to August, making it an opportune time to avail slightly lower rates on accommodations.
