Event Location - Spinney Wood

Spinney Wood is an area of ancient woodland south of the village of Aylesham. The woodland has a long history of coppice, with hazel and sweet chestnut cut for use by local people. This management continues today and has resulted in a rich ground flora with many species of wildflower including orchids to be found.

Footpaths link to the site, with the North Downs Way less than a half mile walk from Spinney Wood. We manage Spinney Wood on behalf of Aylesham Parish Council.
