Introduction
One Tree Hill is set within the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and was purchased by the National Trust in 1911. Around 90 percent of the trees were felled by the Great storm of October 1987 but the area has recovered well and now has a mixture of woodland and open glades with a carpet of bluebells and wild garlic in springtime and a wonderful view over the Weald of Kent from the top.
A popular spot for walking and horse riding with a great network of paths throughout the site and includes the long-distance Greensand Way, which runs all the way from Reigate in Surrey to Maidstone.

Walk Details
One Tree Hill isn't a particularly big woodland and there are no way marked trails that we found but you can easily make your way around and if in doubt just use an app such as AllTrails or google maps to make sure your heading in the right direction.

OWTD Walk Verdict
We love a walk with a view and One Tree Hill did not disappoint even though we visited on a cloudy day. The woodland although fairly small is well worth a walk just watch out for muddy footpaths during wet weather and some big puddles especially if your dog loves water like ours.
Walk Information
- Moderate - A walk with some hilly sections and some uneven pathways
- Our circular walk was around 2km but you can easily extend your walk via other footpaths.
- Our walking time was only around 30 mins but allow more time to take in the view and explore the other footpaths.
- Unsurfaced and uneven pathways with an incline as you make your way to the top of the woodland. Can be very muddy during the winter months and wet weather.
- All pathways are unsurfaced and can be muddy in wet weather and throughout the winter so not really suitable for push chairs and wheelchairs.
- No Stiles
- Dogs allowed off lead.
- Dog bins available
- Small free car park at the entrance off Carters Hill
- The Pig and Pickle Pub or Reuthe's - The Lost Gardens of Sevenoaks are both dog friendly and are only a short drive away.
