Folkes Lane Woodland

Visit Folkes Lane Woodland – it’s well worth it for the stunning views alone. The site’s based on what were previously arable fields grouped around a steep hill. From its top are vistas south over the River Thames to the North Downs and west across London’s Docklands with Canary Wharf, then on to the Millennium Dome and as far as the London Eye. It’s worth a visit for the exercise too. Folkes hillsides provide some fairly strenuous exercise opportunities. Why not tackle them? There’s a small wet area for amphibians and a stunning hilltop picnic spot. Or why not stand and watch the busy M25 traffic from Folkes’ relative tranquillity. Over 90,000 native trees were planted on the site and, as they steadily grow, those adjacent to the M25 are slowly screening out the motorway’s roar.
