Most people in Kent live within a few miles of a Kent Wildlife Trust nature reserve. From ancient woodlands to meadows and wetlands, they’re just waiting to be explored.
Old Park Hill has a range of habitats but needs to be managed and restored to return it to its early 20th century character, when most of the site would have been open chalk land.
Ancient chalk grassland with a very rich flora.
This remote and tranquil reserve comprises woodland, nesting within an area of pasture and orchard.

Tranquil ancient mixed woodland with a stream and ponds.
As you leave the car park, you are greeted by Queendown Warren stretching from one side of the valley to the other. The reserve is a 76.5ha site containing a mixture of Chalk Grassland, open Pasture, and Woodland.
Quilters Wood Reserve is an area of ancient semi natural woodland and chalk grassland situated near Bridge, Canterbury.
Important update: The Visitor Centre is no longer operated by Kent Wildlife Trust. It has since re-opened under new ownership as The Nest. The country park and gardens - managed by the Romney Marsh Countryside Partnership - remain open to the public. Please read the update below.
