First of Many Traditional Cache

First of many
The Larches Picnic Site
The Larches Picnic Site is a peaceful location surrounded by beautiful countryside.

The Larches is an unusual site as access to it is only possible on foot. However, the remoteness of the site creates a tranquil atmosphere, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a gently stroll through woodland and downland.

Located within the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there are excellent views over the Weald.

A Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Area of Conservation, The Larches is an intricate mix of habitats, including woodland, scrub and chalk grassland.

Opening times: 9am to dusk or 9pm. Whichever is earlier.

From Maidstone turn left off the A249 at the bottom of Detling Hill just before Jade's crossing along Pilgrims Way. The site is on the right.
