Despite being so close to urban Ashford, surrounded by roads and cut through by the railway, the Warren is a surprisingly wild place. The woodlands, with their coppice and old oaks, screen the site from man-made intrusions, making it a green haven for the community. The Warren is also important for wildlife. The acid grasslands are unimproved, and contain plants such as sheep's sorrel and bird's foot. They are mown to maintain their value and keep birch scrub at bay. The ponds are home to amphibians, aquatic insects and the uncommon water violet. A wide variety of birds also inhabit the site.

Access: 
Via Warren Lane (turning off A292 Maidstone Road). There is ample parking and a network of way-marked paths through the site starting from the car park.
