Beautiful and and part of history

A commemoration to the Kent Air Ambulance crew who lost their lives in a crash at this site.

Holly Hill is a peak and woodland located in the Kent Downs Area of Natural Beauty. The area affords some wonderful uninterrupted views across the county and hosts an array of beautiful flora including oak, chestnut, wildflowers, and fungi. There is a great diversity of animal and bird species too, including the wonderful Nightingale and woodpecker.

Blue Bell Hill, part of the Kent Downs AONB, is a scenic spot to stop for a pitstop. At the top of the hill, picnic benches overlook the surrounding countryside and the River Medway. The North Downs Way runs along the top of the hill so it's a popular stop-off for walkers.

Another little POI that is just a couple of strides of the path
