Bent Oak & Northridge offer the opportunity to own a significant mixed broadleaf woodland located within the Old Park Wood Site of Nature Conservation. These combined woodlands have been meticulously maintained over the years, as evidenced by the serene and secluded atmosphere you'll experience throughout the site.

The southern section, Bent Oak, features predominantly young chestnut coppice interspersed with occasional birch, impressive holly, and oak, all enhanced by a seasonal carpet of bluebells. A private vehicle track leads from the shared path into the site, from where a winding woodland path guides you to a wide open glade with a camp area, useful storage, and shelter, offering lovely views into the woods.

The northern section, Northridge, is wonderfully spacious, with a high canopy allowing ample light to reach the woodland floor. This area contains more mature chestnut coppice and towering, well-spaced oak. The site is completely flat and offers abundant opportunities for camping and woodland activities in numerous open areas. Historic tracks, culverts, and woodbanks can also be found throughout.

Locally, The Peacock Inn and the village of Goudhurst, with its shops and restaurants, are within walking distance. Other points of interest include Scotney Castle, and for those seeking more adventure, Bewl Water Aqua Park is just a short drive away. With easy access to London and the South Coast, Bent Oak and Northridge are ideally situated for those looking to escape.
