The
Blean is just minutes away
A series of 18 new interpretive panels have been
installed in locations in and around the Blean, near Canterbury. Situated
in pub car parks and other gateway sites, they are designed to raise
awareness of the wildlife and history of this, one of England's largest
and most distinctive areas of ancient woodland, and encourage people to
explore the many publicly accessible woods.
Nature themes covered by the panels include Butterflies
of the Blean, The Mighty and Marvellous Oak, and Wild Flowers of the Blean.
Others explore the history of specific places and events such as Tyler
Hill and the little known Battle of Bossenden.
