Riding Wood, Kent
- Land size
- 5 acres
Description
Part of the wider Brogues Wood landscape, Riding Wood is embraced by open meadows to the east and companion woodlands to the north and south. Riding Wood is an ancient woodland featuring mature oak trees and other broadleaf species (see ‘Trees’ section below). A rustic bench tucked away in a private clearing in the woodland offers a peaceful place to sit and fully immerse yourself in nature.
Riding Wood is an Ancient Semi-natural Woodland (ASNW) as designated by Natural England - a habitat that has remained continuously wooded since at least 1600 AD. Such woodlands are treasured for their exceptional biodiversity.
Riding Wood is situated approx. 3km south-west of Biddenden and 4km north-east of Benenden in the county of Kent. A private stoned track on the edge of open meadows provides access to the wood. There is a place for a new owner to park within the boundary of the wood itself. Just beyond the ride stop a footbridge has been installed across the shallow ditch to reach the woodland. There is stock fencing along the edge of the woodland (from when livestock were previously grazing the meadows). A short section of fencing has been opened up to allow easy access into the woodland. There is evidence of an old entrance into Riding Wood from Frogs Hole Lane which a new owner may wish to re-establish (subject to planning).
