Bluebell Woodland Trail, Kent Downs

Highlight • Trail

Lots of paths to choose from. The ground was loose and knotty when I was there. Note I was there when it was dry I suggest something larger than 28mm slicks!

Hosey Common Forest Path

Highlight • Trail

Hosey Common extends to approximately 64.16ha and is a mix of broadleaved semi-natural and replanted woodland

These are old stone quarries and now the protected home of bats. Much of old Westerham is built of stone from these quarries

Such a lovely walk in the sunshine this morning- although a few areas are quite muddy so you do need good waterproof boots and some trees have come down across the paths but you can easily climb or navigate around
