Stubbs Wood Country Park

The 252-acre Stubbs Wood Country Park contains extensive networks of footpaths through dense woodland filled with oak, birch, and sweet chestnut trees.

Originally part of Whitley Forest in 1769, Hanging Bank within the park marks the location where rebels faced defeat during Wyatt's rebellion against Queen Mary in 1554.

Lady Amherst's Drive, named after Sarah Amherst, follows an ancient road through the woods connecting Bessels Green near Sevenoaks to Sundridge.

The park remains open daily from dawn until dusk, with parking facilities available nearby and multiple trail options suitable for walking and horseback riding.

Following severe damage during the Great Storm of 1987, local organizations funded replanting efforts while some ancient oak and beech trees survived the destruction.
