Lovely setting! (added by jenny_h311691 16 aug 2021)

Non-electric pitch (added by visitor 23 aug 2020)

Well-maintained and peaceful park on the edge of the High Weald area
A couple of minutes’ drive from Biddenden and 10 from Tenterden
Under 25 minutes’ drive from four golf courses and two castles

Should excursions around the Garden of England be high up on your agenda, select a rural site to suit your roams – like Woodlands Country Park, on the edge of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and around half an hour’s drive from the protected landscapes of the Kent Downs. If the location makes you reckon the rambles will be good around here, you’d be right – woodland and country walks are close by (ask the on-site team for top tips on where to traipse), plus paths around pretty places like Bewl Water and the Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest are about 20 minutes by car. You can also dawdle with the dog while on your hol as the site allows canines provided they’re kept on a lead at all times. Already getting excited about what you’re going to eat? Grillable grub is recommended as off-ground barbecues are permitted on the spacious, grassy grounds of the park; if you’re planning on dining out, Biddenden’s handful of restaurants are a few minutes’ drive away. Travel 10 minutes to the larger town of Tenterden for a bigger choice of eateries and to pile up those supermarket supplies. The park’s a convenient place for accessing Kent attractions as well as its amenities: four golf courses are within a 20-minute drive and a couple of castles (Leeds and Sissinghurst) are less than 25 minutes away. This place is also a smart stop-off spot enroute to and from continental shores as Ashford's international railway station is 25 minutes’ drive.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Cleanliness of site and toilet block.

Disliked: Sometimes the geese at the back on the poultry farm could be quite loud at night, which wasn’t too much of a problem but would have been nice to have known beforehand.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to hear that the geese from our neighbour's farm caused some noise disturbance. However, we would like to clarify that this situation is beyond our control. We appreciate your feedback and we will look into the matter further. Please note that this is the first time we have received such a complaint from our customers regarding the geese. We hope this clarifies the issue and we assure you that we will do our best to ensure that our customers have a pleasant and peaceful experience with us. Thank you for your understanding.

Local attractions

For an intro to the local countryside, head to the Kent & East Sussex Railway (10 minutes’ drive) for steam train trips to the 14th-century Bodiam Castle and moat. On return, it’s five minutes or so to the Biddenden Vineyards for a few sneaky sips of the region’s homegrown bottles. If the kids are with you, swap an alcohol-centred tour for ambles with the animals at the South of England Rare Breeds Centre (15 minutes). Small sorts and adults alike generally appreciate Kentish visits like Sissinghurst Castle (10 minutes) and Leeds Castle (25 minutes), meanwhile, with the former spot also being home to grand gardens well worth a roam. Keen for a go on the green? You’ll have a fair few golf clubs to choose from hereabouts, including London Beach (five minutes), Chart Hills (five minutes), Weald of Kent (15 minutes) and The Ridge (20 minutes). You’re never far from a fishery around these parts either – try Elphicks (20 minutes) to reel in specimens of all sorts from seven lakes.
