A view in Parkwood Picnic Site

Parkwood Picnic Site is famous for its magnificent Spring display of bluebells, which carpet the woodland.


A Site of Nature Conservation Interest, it boasts an amazing diversity of flora and fauna typical of this woodland habitat.


Plants include wood rush and St. John's Wort. The woodland also hides a very large, rare, wild service tree.


Some areas are actively coppiced, creating habitats for nesting nightingales; nuthatch; green and great spotted woodpeckers; and several common warblers.


The site also offers panoramic views over the surrounding countryside.

  • The nearest train station is Appledore (3 miles).
