The woods - the website

Driving to the wood

Its about 90 mins or so from London to the wood. I have put some local post-codes for your Sat Nav on 'Directions to the wood', together with a Google map link. If you use a paper map (really? Still?) the head to Goudhurst and from there to Sissinghurst and its on your left, first cross roads past the Peacock inn.

Parking is difficult in that there isnt any. But you can park on the roads all around the wood. Some are more suitable than others and I have tried to mark this on the Google map.

It's been raining.....

Well of course it has - yesterday was the longest day, Wimbledon has started and we are planning a summer party! But at the weekend the wood looked lovely, the weather forecast is OK, we have rigged tarpaulins and a little bit of rain won't put us off.

Check the website on the morning for details of whether we are going ahead

What should I bring?

Children, partners, dogs all most welcome. I know there is something wrong with that sentence but try as I might I cant find a better form of words. Forgive me.

It would be a good idea to bring a rug or camping chairs to sit on; especially if it has been wet. No sign of that now but even when dry a chair is a good idea. Chestnut husks are spiky as I have found to my cost.

As for food we will have a big chilli on the go with pitas and sacks of baked potatoes. There will be a DIY BBQ  (ie a fire!) and so do bring something to cook on that if you want.

What if its raining ?

If its really pouring down we will obviously cancel. If in doubt then check this site - I will put a notice up on the morning if its off.

Contacts

Phones work pretty well in the wood. If you are lost don't hesitate to ring - you won't be the first!
