Hiking

Hothfield Common is one of the last remaining heathlands in Kent. Rich in flora and fauna, the nature reserve is a great place for wildlife enthusiasts. You can observe birds including yellowhammers, whitethroat, willow warblers, snipe and linnet, as well as grass snakes, harvest mouse, green tiger beetle, lizards, butterflies, plus lots more. Yellow gorse bushes and purple heather blossoms also make the reserve a very beautiful place to explore.
