Field Walk. Saturday 9th November 2024 10:30 am

On 9th November 2024, there will be a field walk to see Ridge and Trough topography. This type of land form is rare in Britain.

The location is Oaken woods, North Pole Rd, at Barming, near Maidstone.
The site is an SSSI.
The walk will start at 10.30 am.
Please park when you first enter North Pole Rd, off of North Street.

There is no parking on North Pole Road, where the woods and heathland starts.
There are no turning places on North Pole Rd, where the woods are, so you must park where the houses are.
The postcode is ME 16 9HF for North Street and ME16 9HG for the North Street end of North pole Rd and ME16 9HH for the rest of North Pole Rd.

Please wear wellingtons or stout walking boots/shoes, as it may be muddy in places, although much of the trackway is dressed with gravel.
