Sett's Wood is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Kent, England. Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, this ancient woodland is a haven for nature enthusiasts and those seeking tranquility amidst the beauty of nature.

The wood is predominantly composed of native broadleaf trees, including oak, beech, ash, and birch, which create a diverse and rich ecosystem. The dense canopy formed by these trees allows only dappled sunlight to filter through, casting a magical glow on the forest floor. This creates an ideal habitat for a wide variety of flora and fauna.

Walking through Sett's Wood, visitors can enjoy the peaceful ambiance as they traverse the well-maintained footpaths. The woodland is home to an array of wildlife, including deer, foxes, badgers, and an abundance of bird species. Birdwatchers can spot species such as robins, blue tits, and woodpeckers, among others.

Sett's Wood also boasts a diverse range of plant life, with carpets of bluebells in the spring and a vibrant display of wildflowers in the summer months. Ferns, mosses, and lichens thrive in the damp, shaded areas, adding to the wood's enchanting allure.

The wood is open to the public year-round, and its peaceful setting attracts walkers, joggers, and nature lovers alike. Sett's Wood is a valuable natural resource, providing a sanctuary for wildlife and a place for visitors to connect with nature and find solace in its serene surroundings.

High Weald Landscape Trail The High Weald Landscape Trail (HWLT) is a 90 mile route between Horsham, West Sussex and Rye, East Sussex, designed to pass through the main landscape types of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). It does not follow the highest ground, and the eastern section is only a few feet above sea level. It keeps to the northern edge of the High Weald except in the west where it runs close to the southern edge for a short distance. It is a trail of regional importance supported by the High Weald Forum and local authorities in East and West Sussex, and Kent. The route is well signposted. It follows public rights of way and roads with the occasional permissive path. The geology is alternating sandstones and clays, and the latter can be very muddy in wet conditions so boots are a must except in very dry weather. Some sections become very overgrown in summer with nettles and brambles.
