Holly Hill and Greatpark Wood, Nr Snodland, Gravesend, Kent

Leave a Reply

Long or short walk with a great view.

Located along a quiet lane near Snodland Holly Hill is one of the highest points in Kent and provides great views across to Canary Wharf.  Holly Hill is a small area of woodland set on a slope with a circular footpath of around 1.5km.  The footpaths are unmade and easy to follow and push chairs should get round without many  problems.  For more energetic dogs and owners a longer walk can be added which takes in Greatpark wood and pushes the walk up to approx 5km.   The footpaths here are also unmade and easy to follow but kissing gates and a stile will make push chair access quite hard.  Parking for both woodlands is available at Holly Hill where a small free carpark awaits.

White Horse Wood Country Park – Detling Hill, Maidstone, Kent

Admire the view and explore the remains of Thurnham castle.

Located off the A249 Detling Hill in Maidstone, White Horse Wood Country park is a newly planted woodland with open grassland and an amazing view-point.  Whilst not a particularly large park it is still worth a visit to admire the view and explore the remains of Thurnham castle all of which are accessed via solid flat pathways and way marked trails.  You can also extend your walk by adding in part of the ‘North Downs Way’ which sits along the edge of the park.

Choice is one of the greatest yet also one of the worst aspects of modern-day shopping. Unfortunately, dog food is no different. Are you debating which is the best option in the Victor Dog Food vs. Zignature Dog Food debate?

A fairly new country park set in the Kent Downs with newly planted woodland and open grassland.  Surfaced pathways loop around the site and un-surfaced public rights of way and the ‘North Downs Way’ can also be accessed from the park.

Accessed from the Maidstone bound A249 Detling Hill the park has a large Pay and Display car park,  picnic benches and panoramic views across Maidstone’s countryside.  Way marked trails and dog bins are located around the park.  Unlike most other country parks though there are no toilet or refreshment facilities.

Most of the footpaths lead away from the car park and the busy A249 dual carriageway.  There is a fairly wide band of woodland between the footpath and the road and so we found it ok to walk with the dog off lead.  Please use your own judgement though and assess whether you think your dog will be ok before letting them off.

A map of the park can be found by clicking the link below.

Another Walk exploring Queensdown Warren

Leave a Reply

Another sunny day for exploring a bit more of Queensdown Warren.  With camera in hand and dog on lead we set off to see what we could find, click here if you want to help your dog being less anxious when going for the daily walks.

We parked once again in the small carpark at the far end of Queens down Warren and headed left in the first field and down the hill.  Along the bottom we discovered a couple of very old trees one of which has had a tree swing put up by someone which we will try and remember for when the kids come next time so we can try it out.  Back up to the top and through the stile we crossed the lane and we were off lead again for a good run around.  We took the path that led us down to the bottom of the valley and followed the path all the way along until we reached another stile at the far end.  Across another lane and into the next field where we decided to do a circular walk and took the path that lead us up the valley.  Not a particularly steep climb but the path leading back down could be tricky in the wet as it is fairly steep.

Taking some photos and throwing the ball as we went we made our way back to where we entered.  Back into the next field we took a different path which took us up to the top of the valley and past a water trough for a quick splash and cool down.  By the time we made it back to the car I had one tired dog.

Hottest day of the year!

Ranscombe Farm Reserve

Leave a Reply

I’ve driven past the car park for Ranscombe Farm on numerous occasions and have never thought twice about stopping.  It is located just off the M2 junction 2 on the A228 heading towards Cuxton.  Well today we fancied a change so we decided to investigate.  We parked up in the small car park at the entrance next to the busy A228 and was a bit apprehensive as to what to expect.  The notice board showed a map of the reserve which looked like it covered a rather large area of fields and woodland.  We started our walk by making our way along the road, through the entrance and up the hill.  At the top we were pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was with only the rumble of trains to be heard in the distance.  Following the well marked footpaths and using the map produced by Plantlife (download a copy by clicking here) we walked across fields, through woods and up and down hills.  Our walk lasted about 2.5 hours and with the sun shining we had a very enjoyable walk.  We will definitely be going back to explore some of the other paths in the coming weeks.
