- Location can be difficult to find; having directions saved beforehand can help reduce arrival-related stress

Facilities
Sensory environment
Open field setting with good views. No specific information about noise levels or crowding. Remote, rural location likely to be quiet.
Tips for your visit
Dogs on leads welcome. Site accessed via footpaths and country lanes - challenging terrain. No facilities mentioned on-site (cafe, toilets, changing facilities). Plan journey carefully due to lack of parking and need to navigate busy roads without pavements. Best suited to families with mobile, ambulant children comfortable with rural walks.
Pricing

Parking
No dedicated car park at the site. Street parking only on wider parts of Old Chatham Road near Kit's Coty House, or layby on Rochester Road (requires 200m+ walk uphill). No disabled/blue badge spaces mentioned. Access involves busy roads without footpaths in places, particularly to reach Little Kit's Coty House - unsuitable for families needing accessible parking.

Approximately 500m walk between the two sites across uneven ground. No mention of wheelchair access, lifts, or accessible facilities. Unsuitable for wheelchairs, mobility aids, or families with limited mobility.
