Tile Lodge Wood is a beautiful woodland located in the county of Kent, England. Covering an area of approximately 40 hectares, this forest is a haven for nature lovers and offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The wood is primarily composed of broadleaf trees such as oak, beech, and birch, creating a diverse and vibrant ecosystem. These trees provide a dense canopy that filters sunlight, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor below. In spring, the woodland comes alive with a burst of color as bluebells and wildflowers carpet the ground.

The area is home to a variety of wildlife, making it a perfect spot for birdwatching and animal spotting. Visitors may be fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of deer, foxes, rabbits, and a wide range of bird species, including woodpeckers and owls.

A network of well-maintained footpaths winds through the woodland, offering visitors the opportunity to explore its natural beauty at their own pace. The paths lead to hidden gems such as a tranquil pond and a picturesque stream, enhancing the enchanting atmosphere of the wood.

Tile Lodge Wood is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering activities such as walking, hiking, and nature photography. It also provides educational opportunities for schools and groups interested in learning more about the local flora and fauna.

With its serene ambiance and rich biodiversity, Tile Lodge Wood is a true gem in the Kent countryside, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the wonders of nature.

St Mary's Church, Eastwell St Mary's Church  at Eastwell dates from the 15th century. It is a quiet spot at the end of a lane and close to the North Downs Way.

The North Downs Way passes just to the north, beyond the church.

The Shell Book goes on to say that an unnamed tomb is credited to Richard Plantagenet, son of Richard III, who escaped from the Battle of Bosworth and ended up here as a carpenter on the estate.
