About Puddledock Woods

Puddledock was originally on the edge of Kent, a dock for ships in Roman times.

The Wantsum channel between the edge of Kent and the Isle of Thanet has long since silted, closing the gap between the Isle and mainland. What it leaves is a beautifully diverse countryside now used for farming.

There are many local walks to the coast and through the surrounding countryside.

Wild camping is available in one of our spacious sites in the woodland. You can also stay in one of our Bell Tents if you don’t want to pitch your own tent!

Alternatively you may wish to rent our self catering Lodge, the Horsebox or the Waggon if you prefer some cosy comfort after spending time visiting some of Kent’s local beaches and historic towns.

Wild woodland, a stream, a wildlife pond and meadow await our visitors. We see a wide variety of birds throughout the seasons, mallard ducks on the pond and marsh frogs can often be heard and seen.
