Farningham Woods Walk

I was just over of over two weeks in Covid-19 self-isolation, I seriously needed some fresh air. London and the South East of England are now in the strictest lockdown restriction. Although we are not allowed to travel out of our Tier 4 area for anything other than work or stay away from home overnight, we are allowed unlimited outdoor exercise within our own area. Fortunately, Kent has some wonderful walks including the North Downs Way which is one of the 15 National Trails in the UK, looks like I will be staying local until the restrictions are lifted. 

One amendment, I stated that I had lived in the area since 1996, it turns out I moved to South Darenth in 1994.

This video is highlights from my 3.5-mile stroll in my local woods, Farningham Woods, Kent. Opened by Sir David Attenborough in September 1986, Farningham Woods Nature Reserve sits atop a hill just to the north of Farningham village and commands views over the Kent countryside all the way to Dartford to the north and Sevenoaks to the south. A Site of Special Scientific Interest, Farningham Woods is one of the most valuable areas of woodland in Kent. A healthy 168 acres in size, it is home to the Small-Leaved Lime, a rare tree which is only found on one other site in Kent, and several other unusual plants, including the largest British colony of the nationally rare Deptford Pink.
