This is possibly one of the best activities you can do as a group! I think Fentons is one of the only curling rinks in England- it is definitely worth a visit and curling is so much fun- definitely best as a group and for team building. It is in the middle of no where so be prepared for country roads!

Brenchley Church is dedicated to All Saints. Hidden behind an avenue of yew trees, it is a large, magnificent church. Originally a Chapel-of-Rest to Yalding, it was built in the 12th and 13th centuries, confirmed as an independent parochial church in 1227, a porch was added and the nave re-roofed in the 14th century, the chancel rebuilt in 1814, a major restoration carried out in 1849 and a clock and chimes installed in the tower in 1883. Inside it is light and airy with some beautiful stained glass. The churchyard is also worth having a look at as there are many ornate gravestones and one Commonwealt War Grave. This is also slightly unusual in that it is the grave of a Sergeant Carr of the Pioneer Corps who died on 2 November 1947.

Had an absolutely brilliant time here for my mum's 50th birthday present. Ryan and the team were fantastic. Made us feel welcome from the second we got there. The birds are so well looked after and loved. My mum handled many more birds than she was expecting and thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. She was a little nervous around some of the biygger birds of prey but was put at ease straight away. We were given facts and information about each day, but in a way that it didn't feel like a lecture. I was just a spectator, but even I had a brilliant time and the lunch was delicious (and massive!). Would thoroughly recommend and have started hinting for my own birthday now!

At one time, timber was very important to Kent. In this part of Kent, around Cranbrook, as well as being used for heating and cooking, timber was used for both housebuilding and shipbuilding and also as fuel for the huge Wealden iron industry. The iron industry has long since gone but timber is still used for domestic fuel and coppicing, which is also a benefit, for wildlife and flowers produces a sustainable supply of wood for fencing. Friezley Wood, near Cranbrook, along with nearby Brewers Wood and Hillywood, and, not that far away, Angley Woods and Comfort's Wood, are just remaining bits of the once great forest that used to cover the High Weald of Kent. Friezley wood, along with those others woods, is just great for dog walking and getting out and about in the great outdoors. There are paths and trails both through the woods and also round and about in the neighbourhood but be warned, in we weather they can get very muddy.
