ラズダウンのおすすめランニングルート

Avoid during prolonged wet weather unless you have an MTB or gravel bike. road tyres won't cut it.

Quite steep and washed out.

Holly Hill and the lost village of Dode. Great circuit walk, lot of walk in the woods and shade with great views. We managed to look around Holly Barrow church as lady had opened it for viewing.

Following the Black Death, the village was abandoned, and the church stood empty for centuries. In 1990 Doug Chapman, a chartered surveyor who had worked at Canterbury Cathedral, purchased the church and began restoring the building, originally with the intention of turning it into a weekend home. Since 1999 it has been licensed as a civil wedding venue.

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.

Also makes for a tough climb, especially with the steps!

The views across to the North Downs and surrounding area are pretty good so I took in a few minutes before embarking on the descent.

Trosley Park's sound garden, or 'Woodland Orchestra', is a fun and interactive place offering sensory play for kids and adults in a beautiful woodland setting. See what interesting sounds you can create on the many different natural instruments provided.
