Description
Bradbourne Lakes is a tranquil local park of historical and local significance located in a residential built-up area 2km northwest of Sevenoaks town centre. Measuring 3.5 hectares and comprising a series of five ornamental lakes with waterfalls, cascades and a circular walking
route set in areas of amenity grass, dense overgrown vegetation and clumps of trees, and some striking specimen veteran trees.
Sevenoaks District Council (SDC) wishes to improve the facilities available to the communities surrounding Bradbourne Lakes. Development Phase Funding for this purpose was approved mid-2024, with most of the funding coming from The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
