Shorne Common Rough
Shorne Common Rough was once a sand and gravel quarry. During World War II, the site was used by the army as an assault course. The land was later vested in a trust company by the Earl of Darnley and the Cobham Hall Estate Company. In 1983, the land was sold to Shorne Parish Council. Today, the area is mostly left in its natural state, preserving the woodland and its unique history. A small grassed picnic area provides a peaceful spot for visitors. The old quarry, now used by off-road cyclists, is a popular feature of the site.
