This area of wetland, pasture, rough grassland, scrub and woodland covers nearly 100 acres and is a rich area for wildlife. Scarce plants that can be found include white sedge, recorded at only two other sites in Kent. The area is also good for mosses and liverworts. Grassland here is also of interest, but in places is becoming invaded with scrub. Uncommon shrubs include alder buckthorn and eared willow. 

The woodlands - Sweet Willow Wood and Flowergarden Wood - are dominated by sweet chestnut, but there are also mature beech and oak trees and alder carr in places.  A number of warblers have been recorded, including nightingale.

Walk through this area, past Flowergarden Wood, with its exotic Turkey Oaks, and you will come to the tiny village of Hinxhill, with its lovely church. The Hinxhill area offers many good walks and a feel of real rural charm.
