OLDBURY HILL AND STYANTS WOOD

Oldbury Hill and Styants Wood is a fantastic forest walk found within the Kent Downs, another area of outstanding natural beauty. The adventurous can explore the 166 acres of woodland, but if you want to keep to the beaten track, there are circular trails too.

As well as the incredibly beautiful surroundings, the site is historically rich too. On your walk, you can find the remains of an Iron Age fort that was built over 2000 years ago. Although your pup will probably be more interested in exploring the woodland and sniffing out squirrels!

If you want to extend walk, you can take a circular route to the nearby Ightam Mote, a stunning moated medieval manor house. Ightam Mote is also dog-friendly, and another excellent walk to consider. If you plan to stay for longer, the Oldbury Hill camping and caravan site is close by.
