Crockenhill lies immediately south of Swanley town in Kent.

In the first half of the 20th century it was an important area for growing peppermint. In the 1930s there were 420 acres (1.7 km²) under cultivation: the last crop was harvested in 1958. [Hidden Kent by Alan Major(Countryside Books 1994)]

There is also a village named Crockham Hill near Westerham.
