Wrotham (pronounced /ˈruːtəm/) is a village situated on the Pilgrims' Way in Kent, at the foot of the North Downs. It is located one mile north of Borough Green and approximately five miles east of Sevenoaks. It is within the junction of the M20 and M26 motorways.
There is a separate village called Wrotham Heath about two miles to the south-east.
Close by is the Wrotham transmitter, which was the first transmitter in the UK to broadcast on FM in 1955, and now carries the main national FM radio frequencies for most of London.
