Camer Park
Camer Park is 40 acres of open parkland and woodland near Meopham, once the country estate of the Smith-Masters family. Bring a picnic, let the children loose on the playground and follow the tree trail past ancient specimens, then warm up at the cafe. It suits families and dog walkers looking for an easy one to three hours outdoors.
