Trottiscliffe (play /ˈtrɒzli/ "Trozli"[1][2]), is a village in Kent, England about 2.5 miles (4 km) north west of West Malling.

The Pilgrims' Way runs near Trottiscliffe

Its most notable feature is the neolithic long barrow known as the Coldrum Stones and its medieval church. It is often incorrectly spelled Trosley after Trosley Country Park at the top of The North Downs, which was once part of the Trosley Towers Estate.
