Informal grassland and woodland park in Northfleet, reached from Vale Road or Springhead Road.
Northfleet Urban Country Park covers about 10 hectares of grassland, scrub and broadleaf woodland. Informal paths and wide grassy rides link the park’s two levels, and planting of native trees, shrubs and wildflowers supports a range of wildlife. It is popular with dog walkers.
Entrances are on Vale Road (east side) and Springhead Road (west side).
Explore Kent says paths are uneven or unsurfaced in places, with stiles and narrow gaps.
