About this wood

The Woodland Trust owns 22.71ha of Park Wood, 1.5 miles west of Chilham village having bought it in 1978; the remaining 6.24ha of Park Wood along the eastern side is in private ownership. (All references to Park Wood within this plan refers to The Woodland Trust area). Park Wood forms the northern part of the formerly very extensive King’s Wood and is integral in the local landscape. The wood slopes gently to the southeast with a central dry valley running NW to SE. The soils are clay with flints over chalk bedrock.
