Lovely natural area, lots of Orchids, I went for the Wild Garlic, parking is an issue, so plan ahead if you can.

If you know why you are visiting, it is one of the most beautiful places.Don't expect any facilities - it is a beautiful, natural habitat

A few orchids out. Later than usual. Unfortunately carpark was closed. Difficult with an elderly aunt.

A nice walk through Beech woodland with a chance to see a variety of orchid species. Parking is limited in the small offroad clearing, access to which is gated and may or may not be open when arriving.

Such a special place! Just been on our annual pilgrimage to see a carpet of English bluebells, as well as cowslips, primroses, early purple and lady orchids. Must remember to take more water next time - it's thirstier work than I remembered!

One of the best sites in Kent for orchids. Rough dirt tracks through the reserve, some climbs, not suitable for those with mobility problems.

Chalk hanger woodland, easily in the top ten most important sites in the country for orchids. There is a car park, but this is only open if a ranger is present -otherwise parking is difficult. Circular paths, some steep bits. Busy in the orchid season, and people travel a long way to visit.

Beautiful ancient woodland - unfortunately the car park is never open otherwise would be 5 star.
