Ancient woodland nature reserve north of Farningham, with a waymarked 1.6 mile walk and car park on Calfstock Lane.
Farningham Woods is 168 acres of ancient woodland on a hilltop north of Farningham village. It is a Local Nature Reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest, jointly managed by Sevenoaks District Council and Farningham Parish Council, and home to the small-leaved lime.
A waymarked 1.6 mile walk covers most of the site. A small car park with a height barrier is at the end of Calfstock Lane, off the A225 south of Horton Kirby. Paths are uneven and there are stiles.
Explore Kent says trails are uneven or narrow, with stiles and narrow gaps.
