​

The housing development of 'The Lakes in Leybourne' by Berkeley Homes was created in 2002 and 2003 beside one of the disused gravel pits that had been turned into man-made lakes. The remaining lakes were turned into a country park and nature reserve to offset the impact of the new housing. The lakes and reserve were later handed over to Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council in 2004. They are the current owners and maintain the lakes and paths.

​

The entrance to The Leybourne Lakes Housing Development runs from Leybourne Way in Lunsford. If you are using a satnav, the postcode is ME20 6GA
