There is a complex in Horsmonden ..... between the M20 and A21 just south of Sevenoaks called Elphick.

But also quite a few of the local clubs will have day tickets for their lakes or rivers ...... i.e. the Medway and tributaries. Tonbridge have some lakes as do the Maidstone club, called something Victory with day tickets.

I believe there are some lakes near Sevenoaks as well which some clubs (Edenbrifge for one) link into, but I can't remember the name.

Got it Gabriels near Edenbridge. Nice, small and very reasonable.
