Otford

Highlight • Structure

The village of Otford has a rich history dating back 3,000 years. Occupants have included Iron Age farmers, Romans, Saxons, Normans, archbishops, and royalty. The village has lots of claims to fame. It's home to the largest scale model of the solar system in the world. Otford High Street has been designated as a conservation area and has buildings dating back to the 15th century. Interestingly, Otford has the only duck pond in the country with listed status, too. The pretty pond, which is Grade II-listed, is thought to date back to Anglo Saxon times.
