Thrunton Forest is a woodland area in Kent, England, covering approximately 1,000 acres of rolling hills and valleys. The forest is dominated by oak, beech, and birch trees, with a carpet of bluebells, wild garlic, and ferns in the spring. Several streams run through the forest, providing habitats for various wildlife, including fallow deer, badgers, and birds such as nightingales and woodpeckers. The forest offers several walking trails, including the 10-mile Thrunton Trail, which takes visitors through some of the most scenic areas.
This place has been battered by storms and many areas are still closed off. The bits that are open are plastered with signs reminding you that the forest is doing its best to kill you. If you can get past that you can still have a decent stretch of the legs.
A beautiful place that has been devastated by last year's storms. It looks like it going to be closed for work to be done for at least a year (now March 2022) Save yourself the journey as the woods paths are completely blocked and impassable. Not only have the Forestry Commission have the fallen trees to clear but also a survey will be needed on the damaged trees that are left.
Went mountain biking here, trails are unoffical but good, they are hard to find without a guide. Just partially reopened after some of the damage from Storm Arwen has been cleared, this place was hit hard by it.
