Kent Walks
These walks explore Dering Wood in Kent, a long-established ancient woodland where mature trees and quiet paths create a sheltered, enclosed landscape.
Both routes stay within the woodland itself, with the longer walk covering a wider circuit through its network of tracks, offering more time to experience the seasonal changes and calm atmosphere of this historic forest.
