Brockhill Country Park
One of the Kent Country Parks located within the Geopark is Brockhill, offering a variety of different settings and wildlife, alongside great facilities and activities. A walk through the whole of Brockhill Park takes you from open hillsides down through patches of bamboo and ferns to a shaded lake, on past woodland streams and back out into meadows grazed by sheep and cattle.
Along the way you can spot lots of wildlife including woodpeckers, kingfishers, butterflies and snowdrops.
Besides the wildlife on offer there are plenty of other activities, including a kids play area, orienteering, geocaching and a great programme of events throughout the year. With excellent facilities including accessible toilets and a great vegetarian cafe, Brockhill Park is the perfect place for a relaxing wander in nature or a family day out.
About Geosites
Geosites are sites of geological interest across the aspiring UNESCO Cross-Channel Global Geopark, where people can visit and interact with our geological heritage. This wide range of sites will offer varying opportunities and values including cultural, heritage, scientific, educational, and aesthetic.
About the aspiring UNESCO Cross-Channel Global Geopark
Hundreds of thousands of years ago a catastrophic flood swept away the chalk ridge connecting Dover and Calais, carving out the white cliffs of Dover and starting Britain’s history as an island.
Did you know the Kent and French coasts are actually still connected today by the layer of chalk which runs below the Channel?
In celebration of the chalk and the channel, we are working to secure UNESCO Cross-Channel Global Geopark status for the Kent Downs National Landscape together with our neighbouring protected landscape in France; the Parc Naturel Regional des Caps et Marais d’Opale.
The Geopark will include both the protected landscapes and the Channel connecting them, recognising and celebrating the geological connection between us.
