Dartford Heath

Natural Woodland

Description

Dartford Heath is crossed by roads and four car parks surrounding it and is one of the last remaining lowland heaths in the southeast. It is home to a variety of habitats ranging from lowland acid and tussocky grassland, to ancient and semi-natural broadleaved woodland that is dominated by silver birch and oak. Heathers, gorse, foxgloves, and bluebells thrive among a variety of wildlife including lizards, birds such as the chaffinch, and roving, three ponds create a haven for newts, frogs and toads with dragonflies and damselflies to be seen, too. Trails from just over 1km to 5km can be found on the Dartford government's website with a map and more details.
