About this wood

Set just south of Tunbridge Wells is big, broad and beautiful Hargate Forest - perfect for those "getting away to the country". Part of the heavily wooded High Weald, the mixed woodland site supports an abundance of butterflies not often found in the region and a rich bird population. It is popular with people too!
