Shorne Woods Country Park, near Gravesend, set in 288 acres of woodlands

The revamped play areas at Shorne Woods are among 288 acres of rolling woodlands, wetlands and meadows.

Children can hide out in dens, climb the rigging and have a generally wild time before you finally manage to rein them in.
