A relatively modern chalk symbol sculpted in the hillside

The attentive hiker or pilgrim has repeatedly encountered a wide variety of types of crosses on his way: made of stone (often granite) or wood, with or without the body of the crucified Christ, artistically decorated or deliberately kept simple, towering high and thus dominating the surroundings from afar or rather smaller... This hiking highlight, however, is sure to take a top spot in the ranking of the most unusual crosses. It does not tower up, but is quite the opposite, cut into the ground so that the light background of this lying monument stands out clearly from the surrounding green of the lawn. The basic idea of such a design - known in technical jargon as geoglyps - is similar to the "Nazca Lines" in South America, which are thousands of years older; or, to give a much closer example, the "White Horse" on Uffington Hill (see https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/283565 ). The sad reason for its construction is to commemorate the victims of the First World War.

Rich in flora and fauna, this important reserve contains Kent's last four valley bogs and one of its few remaining fragments of open heath.

Originally used as a royal hunting wood (hence the name), King's Wood is now much better used for hunting unique art pieces along its sculpture trail. However, If you do have a keen eye and a quiet step, you may still have a chance to see its last remaining herd of fallow deer. Rest assured, they are safe from hunters nowadays.

Lovely views over Eastwell Lake from the Eastwell Lake water crossing.
