Farningham Woods Nature Reserve

Map of M20 Junction 1 Walk

This is a quiet and atmospheric woodland walk in a nature reserve that is a haven of meditative calm.

An easy to follow 1.6 mile circular walk is marked, and the paths are clear and well maintained.

The woodland is frequented by a few local dog walkers, but as soon as you are within the wood there are virtually no signs of human existence. Lovely!
