Dartford Removals
Dartford is situated on the border of Kent and Greater London. The history of Dartford spans more than 400,000 years, from archaeologists excavating pre-historic tools, to plague, poverty and crime causing controversy in the town between 1500 and 1600.
Dartford’s traditional role as a stopping-place for pilgrims ceased with the Reformation and the abolition of pilgrimages. This had a significant impact on the local economy. The dissolution of Dartford Priory also robbed Dartford of an important source of status and prestige. Fortunately, the decision by Henry VIII to build one of his royal manor houses at Dartford brought the town once again under the spotlight.

For wildlife lovers, The Enchanted Forest can be found at the base of Temple Hill East. It is three and a half acres of trodden walks and smaller trails leading off into the depths of the woodland.
