Burham Down

With sublime views over the Weald of Kent, this reserve consists of an area of chalk grassland and a large area of woodland. Some species of orchid can be seen in the woodland and kestrels breed in the chalk cliffs. Various different insects can be observed here.

Cromers Wood

An ancient semi-natural woodland on the southeast side of a dry slope valley. Carpets of wood anemone are followed by bluebells, early purple and common spotted orchids.

Darland Banks

Sweeping panoramic views are not what you expect to find in the heart of the Medway towns but this site has long defied convention. This is our most diverse reserve which is home to the largest population of Man orchids in the country.

Oare Marshes

Oare Marshes is an international importance for migratory, overwintering and breeding wetland birds, the reserve consists of grazing marsh (one of a few left in Kent).
