Description

Spong Wood is an ancient 18-hectare woodland run by the Kent Wildlife Trust and is home to a range of fauna and wildlife including bluebells, white Admirals and you may even catch a glimpse of roe deer wandering through the trees. Hazel trees, wood anemone and greater-spotted woodpeckers call this Area of Special Scientific Interest set in an Area of Outstanding Beauty, that is also a Site of Nature Conservation Importance. Tucked away within typical farmland landscape which adds to the peaceful walk in the woodland, where you may not see another visitor - except wildlife of course.
