Park Wood

Park Wood is ancient woodland and forms the northern part of the formerly very extensive King’s Wood situated to the south of the A252 and is integral in the local landscape, 1.5 miles west of Chilham village. The Woodland Trust bought 22.71ha of Park Wood 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 are to The Woodland Trust area). 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.
