Farthing Common is a well-known local viewpoint at one of the highest summits in the Kent Downs AONB. From here, the scene takes in the rolling farmland and small scattered settlements that characterise the North Downs. From the common there are extensive views across Kent and on a clear day it is possible to see as far as the Cliffs at Fairlight in Sussex
