Downe Bank is a nature reserve owned and managed by the Kent Wildlife Trust in the North Downs, close to Downe in the London Borough of Bromley. It is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) together with the neighbouring High Elms Country Park.[1] Located close to Charles Darwin's home, Down House, it was one of his favourite places and helped to inspire his work.
