We had to come into the town for a takeaway during lockdown and while waiting for the food we visited the park. We were pleasantly surprised at how well maintained it was and how clean, in contrast to the rest of the town. There was a nice formal area with flower beds and benches as well as a kids play area and a playing field. A real asset to the town.

This is a lovely local Museum that is a pleasure to visit. The staff are incredible, knowledgeable, pleasant and patience of a saint with the nosey little people, I had with me. American visitor I brought loved it.

For how close this is to where we live, we were amazed by the space on offer and so little people around to enjoy it - check out the fruit orchard, I'm looking forward to autumn when we can go and sample some of the fruit on offer - apples, pears, plums, cherries and more besides - you are allowed to have some as per the signs, but cannot turn up with baskets to scrump the stuff - it's there for everyone to enjoy, and it's pristine down there because so little people go to see it, I hope more people will go and enjoy this place but continue to keep it looking as lovely as it is, a little slice of heaven in the smoke and traffic of Dartford. Just behind the posh housing estate behind Darent Valley, lots of parking - height restricted I believe.

Really love going here it's a really nice place to visit with the wide open landscape surrounded by lovely dark green trees. Really nice place to ride a bike and for the more adventurist try the dips. Great for mountain bikes or BMX's. Keep away from the industrial part you get a lot of cars sitting around waiting for their own little adventure... unless you want that! Nice place on the right side of the Heath though!

Lovely woodlands to stroll through. Easy to find, well signposted. £1 to park in an honesty box. Perfect place to walk and work up an appetite for a local pub lunch!! Active/gym equipment along the way, enjoyed by adults and children alike!! Little gem.
