    It’s ok, nice woodland walk with a few activities dotted around for the kids to get involved with. The views are amazing! Only problem is that it’s either too flat and straight (which makes the walk seem longer and boring) or it’s too steep which isn’t great for the young, elderly or less mobile. Now I’m aware that this isn’t the parks fault but when compared to somewhere like Shorne there is no comparison.

    Love woodlands to walk, cycle or ride a horse. There are different length walk marked by coloured arrows, some flat and others more challenging. I like to walk my dog through the beautiful woodlands and there are places where you can see for miles across the North Downs. There is a nice cafe with food and drink thought a little expensive. If you like bacon, the bacon sandwich is amazing. Car park is £1.70 weekdays and a little more at weekend. This place is definitely worth a visit.

    A really lovely country park , just outside Wrotham . Good sized car park with payment machines or you can use various parking apps including ring go . There's plenty of maps showing you the routes and route markers throughout so you know you are going the right way . We did the brown route , and the hill was a thigh killer but the views were worth it . There's a kids play area fitness trail , cafe and toilets . Lots of the routes are nice and shaded which is ideal with dogs on a warm day . There are certain areas where the dogs need to be on leads .

    Amazing!! Lovely views, easy walk with young kiddies. Play areas and trim trail along the yellow route. Kids loved the goats, musical forest and play areas :)

    Access to the pay & display carpark is off Harvel Road, check your directions take you that way. Small carpark surrounding the cafe and toilet block, with some parking on the access road. Nice cafe with friendly staff with indoor and outdoor seating areas. There are good maps of the walking trails and routes at several intervals along the trails with beautiful scenery and forest paths. Ramblers and dog walkers delight, could be hard going for wheelchair users in the winter months or after heavy rain, will need several fit family members to help push you around. Several places to entertain the kid's around the trails, well worth a visit.

    A beautiful park with lots of different options for walks. We did a longer 10KM+ starting from the park and following the Coldrum Circular which has BEAUTIFUL views! The walk was all dog friendly and we finished off back in the country park at the café.

    Lovely woods to walk through on hard core paths with a few muddy sections but easily negotiated. There are play areas and activities along the routes, ideal to keep children occupied and interested in walking further. Beautiful scenery to enjoy at viewpoints. Loved it! There is a cafe and toilets by the car park too.

    2023 Early spring. Great place for a woodland walk, with some fine views between gaps in the trees. Some wood carvings are dotted around. Parking is £2.70 at weekends.

    I only popped here for a walk, parking is £2.50 for the day regardless of the time you are there. I did the easy 2.5 mile walk. The glimpses across the countryside are beautiful and there are alsorts of little activities to exercise or play on if you wish. The paths can be a little uneven, so tread carefully. The facilities were great, loo and a cafe. Can't ask for more.

    It is a lovely piece of unspoilt woodland with fabulous views down to Trottiscliffe and the Walking up or down the escarpment definitely gives your heart a workout! It is beautiful most of the year with lots of wild flowers. Bluebell time is fabulous. Their scent hangs in the air. There are also lots of other wild flowers to enjoy during the year. If you are lucky you may see some wild orchids. Unfortunately I have seen people picking bluebells. I doubt if they even get as far as home as they wilt quickly.. Please share the beauty of Trosley by leaving the plants and flowers where they thrive. In winter it can be beautiful too, especially if it snows. If there has been heavy or prolonged rain you will need wellies or sturdy boots. There are places to picnic as well as a lovely cafe with a good range of light snacks and cakes etc. M. A.

    Pleasant stroll through the woodland. Some great views en route. Different coloured routes planned and marked clearly and easy to follow. Designated play areas and some little treats like WoodHenge dotted around. Exercise areas also set up on the fitness trails. Finished with a coffee in the countryside park cafe. Parking cheap at £1.70 a day.

    Took a long walk (30k) in training for 3 peaks. Used the park as our base and got to have a fantastic day. Views were magnificent. There are plenty of branching public footpaths that from park itself.

    Huge country park, full of trails to explore, by walking or cycling. It is pure nature, full of trees, flowers and birds. Amazing place to spend a good time with your loved ones. Highly recommended.

    Loved it here. Gorgeous autumn woodland walk. Lots to explore for the kids. Short & Long trails to follow to suit your needs. Cafe and toilets on site too.

  • 5/5 Georgiana L. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a really nice forest with an amazing view. We didn't had the chance to see the animals but that view is breathtaking. Beautiful sculptures, nice music instrument area, lots of amazing trees. We had a really great time there. Few small places for kids to play. Lots of signs, benches, clean, few car parks with pay.

    Great lateral park with woodland adventures for the kids and great food in the cafe after walk in the woods. Although walk says flat it is not smooth so a rugged pram required. Also check out steps to complete red route or you will have to double back or just stay on the top path the runs from end of car park.

👍👍 Went yesterday with the family and had the most epic chicken burgers for lunch! It has a lovely airy atmosphere with interesting memorabilia on the walls. Everyone in Nell's are so lovely and the owner, Sandra, is a brilliantly funny and helpful. Looking forward to going back.

🫤 Pretty poor service, I'm not surprised no one was there. Walked in to a empty venue, after been greeted at the door we was given 1 menu between two of us and said just sit where ever. not a good start. Once we sat down I decided to get my own menu as we wasn't given two. Poor... Waiting for table...
