Devils' Den in Kent Valley, also known simply as Devils' Den, is a geological formation located in Kent, Washington. This natural area is characterized by large basalt rocks that have been eroded over time to create unique formations and caves. The site is popular among hikers, climbers, and nature enthusiasts for its rugged terrain and scenic views of the surrounding landscape.

Devils' Den is believed to have been formed millions of years ago during a period of volcanic activity in the region. The distinctive rock formations are a result of lava flows that cooled and solidified, creating the basalt columns and caves that can be seen today. The area is also home to a variety of plant and animal species, making it a popular spot for wildlife observation.

Visitors to Devils' Den can explore the rocky terrain, climb the formations, and enjoy panoramic views of the Kent Valley. The site is accessible via a network of trails that wind through the area, providing opportunities for both leisurely walks and more challenging hikes. Overall, Devils' Den offers a unique and fascinating glimpse into the geological history of the region.

Gauging weir, River Eden This is just before its confluence with the Eden Brook. The cows kept being a nuisance and there was an electric fence very near, so a quick shot and off!

Pond on abandoned golf course This pleasant pond covered in water lilies is totally surrounded by almost inpenetrable trees and scrub, but where there's a will there's a way!

Green on abandoned golf course The roughly circular area had very fine grass and was evidently very free draining, as it was getting parched after a long dry spell in the spring.

Old main road, Marsh Green This lane around the north-western side of the village green was the only way towards Edenbridge until the straight cut-off road on the south-eastern side was built about 1900. Surprisingly, the current village green only came into being when this was done, the area being fields until then.
