  • Well-maintained and peaceful park on the edge of the High Weald area
  • A couple of minutes’ drive from Biddenden and 10 from Tenterden
  • Under 25 minutes’ drive from four golf courses and two castles
Should excursions around the Garden of England be high up on your agenda, select a rural site to suit your roams – like Woodlands Country Park, on the edge of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and around half an hour’s drive from the protected landscapes of the Kent Downs. If the location makes you reckon the rambles will be good around here, you’d be right – woodland and country walks are close by (ask the on-site team for top tips on where to traipse), plus paths around pretty places like Bewl Water and the Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest are about 20 minutes by car. You can also dawdle with the dog while on your hol as the site allows canines provided they’re kept on a lead at all times. Already getting excited about what you’re going to eat? Grillable grub is recommended as off-ground barbecues are permitted on the spacious, grassy grounds of the park; if you’re planning on dining out, Biddenden’s handful of restaurants are a few minutes’ drive away. Travel 10 minutes to the larger town of Tenterden for a bigger choice of eateries and to pile up those supermarket supplies. The park’s a convenient place for accessing Kent attractions as well as its amenities: four golf courses are within a 20-minute drive and a couple of castles (Leeds and Sissinghurst) are less than 25 minutes away. This place is also a smart stop-off spot enroute to and from continental shores as Ashford's international railway station is 25 minutes’ drive.

Local attractions

For an intro to the local countryside, head to the Kent & East Sussex Railway (10 minutes’ drive) for steam train trips to the 14th-century Bodiam Castle and moat. On return, it’s five minutes or so to the Biddenden Vineyards for a few sneaky sips of the region’s homegrown bottles. If the kids are with you, swap an alcohol-centred tour for ambles with the animals at the South of England Rare Breeds Centre (15 minutes). Small sorts and adults alike generally appreciate Kentish visits like Sissinghurst Castle (10 minutes) and Leeds Castle (25 minutes), meanwhile, with the former spot also being home to grand gardens well worth a roam. Keen for a go on the green? You’ll have a fair few golf clubs to choose from hereabouts, including London Beach (five minutes), Chart Hills (five minutes), Weald of Kent (15 minutes) and The Ridge (20 minutes). You’re never far from a fishery around these parts either – try Elphicks (20 minutes) to reel in specimens of all sorts from seven lakes.

Liked The washing area is clean and nice; the lawn is level with no stones. It is also close to a few walking trails. We spent 2 joyful nights there.

Disliked The mobile may not have a good signal on the site, but it's great if you want to have a break from the city.

Liked Clean Toilet & Bathroom: Clean twice a day (morning & around sunset), Female's and Male's and Disable's. Plenty of showers hardly see a queue. Good water pressure, water hot enough (as if source from a hot spring lol).

Good location: 30 mins ish driving distance from a lot of local attractions of the Southeast, like Bodiam Castle, Rye, Tenterden, Hastings, etc.

Disliked I did hear engine roaring a few times at midnight one of the night, but not that I can't sleep tho. It's gives and takes when its next to A262.

Cash payment only when I arrived at the spot but said card payment acceptable on pitchup... card payment not available because I was staying over the bank holiday(so as the keeper claimed).

Liked Clean facilities. Site warden was friendly and helpful. There was plenty of space in a flat well drained field.

Disliked Windows above showers were often open so it got quite cold while showering.
