There is a diversity of wild life around the site and in the woods that surround the site where you can take a gentle stroll. Gate House Wood is an ideal base to explore the countryside of Kent with its many attractions. Campers, tents, touring caravans, motorhomes and RVs (up to 10m) are accepted.
