Swanscombe Heritage Park

Swanscombe Heritage Park is renowned for its significant archaeological finds from the Early Stone Age, including flint tools that date back 400,000 years. The site, located in the former Barnfield Pit quarry, is one of only two in Britain where actual human remains from this period, notably the Swanscombe Skull, have been discovered.

Visitors can explore an accessible trail that meanders through the landscape, with information boards carved into granite blocks detailing the sequence of deposits and the locations of the skull fragments. Declared a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a National Nature Reserve, the park highlights the importance of preserving such historically rich locations for future generations.
