Romden Wood is a picturesque forest located in the county of Kent, England. Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, it offers a serene and enchanting escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The wood is situated near the village of Smarden, surrounded by rolling hills and lush green meadows.

The woodland consists primarily of mature oak trees, interspersed with an array of other native species such as beech, ash, and birch. These ancient trees create a dense canopy, providing shelter for a diverse range of flora and fauna. Bluebells, wood anemones, and wild garlic carpet the forest floor during the spring months, adding vibrant bursts of color to the surroundings.

Romden Wood is known for its tranquil atmosphere and abundant wildlife. Visitors may catch glimpses of roe deer, foxes, and badgers as they explore the woodland trails. The area is also a haven for birdwatchers, with species such as woodpeckers, owls, and the elusive nightingale often spotted here.

Several footpaths wind through the wood, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in its natural beauty. These paths lead to secluded clearings and tranquil ponds, providing opportunities for peaceful reflection or a refreshing picnic.

Romden Wood is a cherished local treasure, and efforts have been made to preserve its natural integrity. It is maintained by the local authorities, ensuring that it remains a valuable habitat for wildlife and a peaceful retreat for nature enthusiasts.

Oast House An Oast House is a building used to dry fresh hops before they are sent to the brewers, to be used for flavouring beer. A traditional Oast House consists of the 'oast' and the 'stowage'. The oast was a kiln, with a plenum chamber fired by charcoal at ground floor and the drying floor directly above. The steep pitched roof channelled the hot air through the hops to the top. The stowage, was the barn section, it had a cooling floor and press at first floor and storage area at ground floor.
