Thornden Wood

Three or four routes of different lengths, one wheelchair/ buggy friendly (although the last stretch can get very muddy) and the opportunity to see wild grazing animals make this a popular wood for children, especially with the tree and wildlife information points. Not much left of the art trail (used to live the wicker pig farmers) but the totem poles and chainsaw art are still amazing.

Beautiful woods to take the dogs or kids with some really nice walks. There a lot of trees that have been blown over by high winds and they make the place even more interesting. There is a good mix of tree species and lots of ferns and heathers. Will definitely be coming here again. There are no bins so if your too lazy and can’t be bothered to take your rubbish home or are simply brain dead and litter then please don’t bother visiting.

Love coming here for a walk. Beautiful woods and we quite often see the wild animals 🦄 here too! Also managed to snag a small harvest of blackberries while we were there

Great walk. Good parking at junction between Thornden Wood Road and New Road. Woodland is managed by the Kent Wildlife Trust and their hard working volunteers - many thanks. Good for elderly, disabled and pushchairs. Sculpture trail is a great fun. Thornden meadow is well worth a visiting too.

Lovely place for a walk, there's loads of wood carvings and things to look at and play on for the kids, parking is free. Plenty of places to stop for a picnic and loads to explore

Really nice wood for a walk. Has a mix of pines and more natural trees

It would be amazing if UK could turn back into this completely. Imagine returning the entire island back into this beautiful, wild, woodland. And still have a few major cities dotted around. How much better would life be for Brits and animals?

An enjoyable walk leading to water meadows and great views from the paths across the gold course. Mixed deciduous with some areas of pine plantation. Wet and muddy in winter, wear wellies.

Aside from dog mess 100 yds into any path from the road (why not take home?) these mixed woods with streams, water meadows and charming walks are a firm favourite.

Great for dog walking

Lovely walk with the hound

beautiful woods

Mixed woodland although much of it is slowly being returned to deciduous woodland. Both highland cattle and konik ponies graze the wood. Art walk is lovely with full disabled access and good paths. Rest has normal earth paths that get muddy and rutted especially in winter.

Great area to take the dog, but unfortunately people are not respecting these beautiful walks. I counted at least a dozen dog poo bags deposited next to walk way.
Are people too thick to understand the bags don't degrade or are they too lazy to take it back to the poo box at the entrance.
Additionally, there were empty water bottles, plastic bags and banana skins laying around.
Come on people it doesn't take much to look after the place for others.
