Little surpasses a walk in the woods to see and smell a carpet of bluebells.
We've been visiting Kings Wood, Challock since '79, both in the late spring to
see the bluebells and at other times to enjoy the delights of the wood.
Unusually for this part of the south east, Kings Wood is of significant size and its possible to get lost. The woods are managed with regular coppicing taking place. Consequently the wood is forever changing its appearance as areas are cut down and others take on a different shape or appearance.
In hindsight it would have been wonderful to have digital photography and GPS tools to hand to record and monitor the changing shape of the woods.
Deeper into the woods it's possible to see a variety of wildlife including adders and fallow deer.
