Bluebells in Bloom: Kings Wood & The North Downs WayGroup Guided Walk
Overview:
Join us for a spring walk through the enchanting King’s Wood at Challock, one of Kent’s most celebrated bluebell woodlands. Set on the North Downs and within the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this ancient woodland offers an incredible carpet of bluebells.
The walk
Our walk follows a 6 mile circular route through King’s Wood, using a network of woodland paths and forestry tracks and The North Downs Way.
King’s Wood has been managed for centuries and was once part of the historic Forest of Blean. Today it is known for its dense canopy of native broadleaf trees, rich biodiversity, and expansive areas of spring bluebells that create a striking violet-blue carpet beneath the trees annually.
As we join the North Downs Way in the quieter section of the woodland you can see the spires of Canterbury Cathedral on a clear day. This is our favourite annual walk and we can't wait to show you the beauty of Kings Wood.
Come and walk with us
Our mixed group walks are open to everyone.
Whether you're already a regular walker, new to the group, coming on your own or simply looking for a good excuse to get out into the countryside, you're very welcome. Around 80% of our members come to our walks on their own, and it is one of the things people love most about being part of the group.
