{{blockquote|Tonbridge district can be divided in two distinct areas, which were divided at the beginning of the nineteenth century by the woods and heaths of the ragstone (1) ridge from Great Comp to [[East Malling]]. Northwards lies the well peopled [[Vale of Holmesdale]] with the market town of [[West Malling]] as the principal centre of population, an area crossed lengthways by the railway and motorway ([[M20 motorway|M20]]); southwards of the ridge is the heavy clay of the [[Weald]] and valley of the Medway<ref>extract from ''Kent'' Dr Felix Hull (An Ordnance Survey Historical Guide 1988)</ref>}}
