 The Larches Picnic Site is a
peaceful location surrounded by beautiful
countryside.
The Larches is an unusual site as access to it is only possible on
foot. However, the remoteness of the site creates a tranquil
atmosphere, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a gently
stroll through woodland and downland.
Located within the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty,
there are excellent views over the Weald.
A Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Area of
Conservation, The Larches is an intricate mix of habitats,
including woodland, scrub and chalk grassland.
- The nearest train station is Maidstone or Bearsted (3
miles).
