Mariners Hill (NT)
Recommended by
Overview
Mariners Hill is ideal for tranquil walks and the enjoyment of excellent panoramic views of the Weald. The wildlife in the area includes many native birds and an array of dead-wood invertebrates. The hill has several paths which form small circular walks or, for those with more time, there is the long-distance Greensand Way, which runs along the northern boundary. The character of the wood was dramatically changed by the storm of 1987, however damaged areas were left to recover naturally, and these are now developing into maturing semi-natural woodlands.
About the area
Kent is home to the White Cliffs of Dover, an English icon that marks the point where the Kent Downs AONB stretches from the Surrey Hills down to the sea. Visitors can explore historic parklands, including Knole Park and Sir Winston Churchill’s former home at Chartwell, or beautiful nature reserves, such as the coppiced woodlands of Denge Wood and Earley Wood and the ancient fine chalk woodland of Yockletts Bank.
