This path and wildlife area has been created by the Parish Council
out of a frequently wet and unusable piece of land. The path has
been elevated and sympathetically surfaced so that it  can
be used by everyone all year round. A new hedge has been planted
on one side and the more mature hedge on the other has been layered
to let in more light and offer glimpses of a meadow beyond. There
are bat and bird boxes, made by the cubs in 2005, and the area has
been planted with spring bulbs.
A magnificent sculpture at the end of the path was created by Ken
Smith from the stump of a much loved oak tree growing in Priory
Road, which had to be felled in 2001 when it became unsafe.
From here you can cross the meadow to Rush Green with it adventure
playground or continue across the new bridge over the River Medway
and on to the Forest Way.
