Introduction
Holly Hill is situated on the North Downs between Birling and Vigo. It isn’t the largest woodland around but as its one of the highest points in Kent the view’s across to Canary Wharf makes it a worth while visit.
The site is well signposted and a small free carpark is located at the entrance to the 17 acre woodland. The woodland paths are easy to follow and lead you round a circular path with some slopes and ascents but nothing too steep. The whole walk is only around 1.5km taking around 30 minutes.

OWTD Walk Verdict
A great view from one of the highest view points in Kent. Away from main roads and partly fenced Holly Hill is an easy short walk. Taking in Great Park Wood aswell makes this an even more enjoyable walk.
Walk Information
- Easy - A fairly easy and flatish walk
- Circular walk around Holly Hill is approx 1.5km (1 Mile). If you extend your walk to take in Great Park Wood then this will take the walk to approx 5km (3 Miles)
- Approx. 30 minutes for Holly Hill and around 1.5hrs with Greatpark Wood dependant on pace.
- Holly Hill takes you around fairly wide unmade woodland footpaths which can become muddy in wet weather and there is access to a field along the bottom edge for a bit of ball throwing. There are some ascent and decents but nothing too steep. Great park wood takes you along a quiet lane across a field and around Greatpark wood. The woods have defined pathways and work is being done to widen some of these but I wouldn’t think its suitable for anyone with push chairs etc. The walk however is fairly flat.
- Unfortunately there are no accessible pathways at this woodland.
- Mainly kissing gates. One stile in Greatpark Wood but dogs can easily get through.
- Dogs allowed off lead at Holly Hill. When ground nesting birds are present at Greatpark wood dog owners are asked to keep dogs on lead (look out for notices as you enter the woodland).
- Dog bins available
- Small free car park with 2m height barrier
