The Warren, managed with Ashford Warren and Hoads Wood by Kent Wildlife Trust, is a 35 hectare nature reserve tucked between roads, railway and housing in Ashford. Expect huge old trees, sandy cliff faces, frog-filled ponds and spectacular bluebells in spring, with woodpeckers and nuthatches in the woods.
