Woodchurch and continue towards Appledore for 2 miles. Parkwood is
the most southerly part of the woodland.
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.
