Stubbs Wood Country Park, Public woodland park in Sevenoaks, Kent, England.
Description
Stubbs Wood Country Park is a wooded area covering over 250 acres with numerous trails through dense stands of oak, birch, and sweet chestnut trees. The paths wind through the landscape and offer various routes suitable for different types of visitors.
History
The woodland was originally part of Whitley Forest, known around 1769. A location called Hanging Bank marks where rebels suffered defeat during an uprising in the 16th century.
Culture
Lady Amherst's Drive runs through the woods and follows an old route that once connected two nearby settlements. The path's name recalls Sarah Amherst and shows how local history remains visible in the park's trails.
Practical
The park is accessible daily from dawn until dusk with parking available nearby. Multiple routes exist for walkers and riders, so choose footwear suited to your planned activities.
Did you know?
A major storm in 1987 damaged many trees, but local groups funded replanting efforts. Today, surviving ancient oaks and beeches stand as witnesses to this recovery and show the forest's resilience.
