Batcher Wood is a stunning semi-ancient mixed woodland that provides complete seclusion on the edge of the High Weald (AONB). Located at the far end of a winding hard track that passes through the larger Goldwell Wood, Batcher Wood is the perfect retreat for those looking to escape.

The woodland is dominated by towering Corsican Pine, but you'll also find impressive oak, hornbeam, ash, birch, hazel, and alder scattered throughout. A seasonal stream runs north to south through the wood, with a small footbridge leading to a peaceful clearing where a bench awaits, offering a tranquil spot to enjoy the surroundings. The stream continues along the eastern boundary, attracting abundant wildlife and offering lovely views across the meadow.

Woodland paths weave through the site, and the mostly flat terrain makes for easy exploration. In spring, bluebells carpet the forest floor, creating a picturesque scene. Several open areas provide ideal spots for setting up camp during the summer months.

Nearby, the charming village of Biddenden is within walking distance, offering shops and a welcoming pub. Further afield, Tunbridge Wells, Rye, and the coast are all easily accessible.
