Ashenbank Wood

Located in the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Ashenbank Wood comprises 30 hectares of ancient woodland.

As well as the dense areas of trees, the site has some open grass areas and ponds.

During the Second World War an RAF camp was constructed in the wood. Some original structures still remain from this period.

The site is also home to a bronze age barrow. This item is of national importance and has been classified as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

  • Paths are largely suitable for electric scooters
  • The nearest train station is Sole Street (2 miles).

Ashenbank Wood is managed by the Woodland Trust (link opens in a new window).
