The Darent Valley Path is 19 miles long and follows the River Darent from the Thames near Dartford to the Greensand Hills above Sevenoaks. Dating from 1869, these cottages are at the northern end of Shoreham on the way to Lullingstone. They were for workers at Lower (Shoreham Paper) Mill, which was just below here - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3865601 The Darent Valley Path crosses the river just ahead.
