Discover the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty on horseback.
Permissive off-road riding routes link to public bridleways
making for stunning circular rides, near the historical cathedral
city of Canterbury.
The woodland and open parkland are home to both a variety of
birds and insects, as well as some beautiful scenery.
You will commonly see foxes, rabbits and squirrels around the
area as well as a number of birds. Swallows nest each year and
kestrels regularly hover in search of a meal.
This is a great way to explore the fantastic countryside around
Lower Hardres, named after the Hardres family, who owned the land
around this area for 600 years after the Norman Conquest of
1066.
