The Perfect Setting: Why Sevenoaks Is Ideal for Outdoor Events

Sevenoaks lies between two breathtaking Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it a perfect setting for our bushcraft adventure. Countless hours in these ancient woodlands have shown me the magic this landscape holds.

Kent Downs and High Weald AONB

Sevenoaks enjoys a special spot with two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty: the Kent Downs and High Weald. Woodlands cover over 20% of the designated area in the Kent Downs National Landscape, making it one of Britain's most heavily wooded areas.

High Weald adds its own charm with medieval landscapes of wooded, rolling hills dotted with sandstone outcrops, small irregular-shaped fields, scattered farmsteads, and ancient routeways.

Ancient Woodlands and Open Spaces

Sevenoaks stands out as our bushcraft event location because of its rich ancient woodlands - areas that have persisted since at least 1600. The Woodland Trust reports that ancient woodlands now cover just 2.5% of the UK, yet Sevenoaks surrounds us with them.

These abundant ancient woodlands serve as the ideal classroom for traditional bushcraft skills like fire lighting and shelter building.

Accessibility from London and Nearby Towns

Though it feels far from city life, six railway lines run through or near the area, with fourteen train stations giving convenient access points. Participants can connect with us without needing a car.
