Kent Walks
Beacon Wood Country Park in Kent is a peaceful pocket of woodland, and these walks offer an easy way to enjoy its calm, leafy setting.
Shady paths wind beneath mature trees, where birdsong and shifting light create a gentle sense of escape from the everyday.
The walks range from a very short loop to a slightly longer wander, both exploring woodland shaped by its clay extraction past.
Today, those industrial traces sit quietly among moss and wild plants, while butterflies and woodland birds can sometimes be spotted along the way.
