Blean Woods - Canterbury's Ancient Woodland - Woods In Kent - The Blean
Blean Wood is about two miles outside Canterbury just off Rough Common Road and can be reached from the A290 Whitstable Road or the M2.
The wood is part of a complex of several woodlands that have an important conservation value are amongst the oldest woodlands in the region. Blean Wood is officially an RSPB reserve but is a terrific resources for the whole community. There is a small car park and picnic area with three designated trails that all begin and end at the car park.
Although an apparent wilderness the woodlands are managed along traditional lines and woodland conservationists put in a lot of work to ensure it remains an ideal habitat for indigenous flora and fauna.

The shortest of the three trails (about 1.5 miles) is available for dog walkers and Blean is quite busy at high days and holidays with bird watchers, dog walkers and local people just enjoying the wood. Walking around Blean is interesting and relaxing and definitely not just for wildlife enthusiasts or nature lovers. In dry weather the paths are easily negotiated but sturdy footwear or boots will be needed if it has been raining or is damp underfoot. At the time of writing the picnic area included apposite works of art by local artists and students. |
