Perry Woods: Walk, ride or cycle

Overview:
Explore one of Kent’s most picturesque and appealing farming landscapes; nestling in the chalk slopes of the North Downs, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the heart of the Garden of England.

This ride takes you through spring meadows grazed by dairy herds, sun-drenched fields of marigolds in summer, abundant orchards in autumn and ancient woodlands alive with wildfowl in winter.

Whatever the time of year, you’ll be captivated by the tranquil beauty of this remote rural haven, where rolling countryside is studded only by sleepy villages, historic churches, hop gardens and tractors at work in the fields and orchards.

Why not try some local food and beer by stopping off in one of the three great pubs along the way?
