Sweet chestnut coppice is primarily grown for fencing and I don't know of anyone who harvests the nuts as a commercial crop in Kent but each cluster generally produces at least one nut worth eating if you have the patience and a thick pair of gloves to handle the very prickly husks. See Image for where I found these.
