Eco-friendly visitor centre

Opened in 2006, the award winning and eco-friendly visitor centre is at the heart of Shorne Woods. Constructed from local sweet chestnut wood and powered through fully renewable energy, the visitor centre is a modern addition to the country park, whilst remaining firmly rooted in Kentish tradition.
