I first came across this lovely woodland while searching for a geocache with my family a year ago.
I suffer with M.E. so we struggle to collect many series of caches as the walks are too long, so I thought it would be good to place a series of caches on a nice 1 mile loop where there are already so many beautiful things to see!
This first one is small, but there are plently of larger ones along the way with swaps for all!
I really hope you enjoy my first series.
Kent Wildlife Trust’s art and sensory, all-access trail in Thornden Wood, between Canterbury and Herne Bay uses natural, local materials to create sustainable, non-invasive artwork which blends into the surroundings. The use of sustainable materials is essential on a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and means that the artwork can evolve and change through the years; as pieces begin to decay, new artwork can be created and installed.
The Radfall is an ancient droveway, with banks and ditches on either side, where livestock such as pigs, would be led between Canterbury and the coast. Wildlife images, created from drawings by children from local schools, are carved onto coppiced tree stumps along the Radfall, and look out for living willow structures.
Parking is available on Thornden Wood Road, with space for blue badge holders and people with young children to park on the same side of the road as the all-access path.
