It's a nice view towards the coast and plans are underway to lay out the trees below in the same formation of ships to represent the Battle of Trafalgar (although this apparently won't be complete until 2040 โ€“ so you'll need to be patient!)

Fascinating history and also at a high point so offers a good view out towards the coast โ€“ worth a little detour in my opinion.

Called the most recent battle in English history, this plaque set amongst the woodland commemorates the 1838 Battle of Bossenden Wood.

One of the original MIchelin starred Gastropubs. You need to call up and book this well in advance, think anything from a month to longer (unless you're counting on a cancellation).
