Dryhill Local Nature Reserve

Dryhill is a former stone quarry near Sevenoaks that nature has reclaimed, and was the first geological Local Nature Reserve in Kent. Explore paths through woodland and up to rocky outcrops of Hythe Beds laid down around 115 million years ago, then picnic in one of the two grassy clearings. It suits families and budding geologists for an hour or two.
