My son wanted a laser quest party but I was worried he would actually be a bit scared once we arrived so we were invited down before booking to have a look around. We went ahead and booked and arrived with 10 very excited children, a couple of which felt a bit nervous. The guys that work at Battlezone were brilliant with the children, easing them in gently by staying in with them & leaving a light on. Within 5 minutes, all 10 of them were in full flight, with lights off and having the best of times. After the games, the children had Dominos pizza ready & waiting in the party room. I was so impressed to see the staff handling all the food with hygiene gloves on. The place is like a movie set, unlike other laser quest venues that are just walls painted black. It’s done in a war theme with sound effects of planes and bombs going off. All the children loved it and said they wanted their parties there. Can’t recommend it enough. Thank you for making my son have the best day.

One of the most spectacular views in Kent and some wonderful walks through woods, over the Downs and up to the Wye Crown. Perfect for dog walkers, joggers, or just a stroll and a picnic.
4. Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 33 reviews
Lying just 15 miles south east of London and covering 878sq.km of Kent's stunning countryside, the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) is one of the most enchanting parts of England to explore. Dramatic cliffs (including the White Cliffs of Dover), ancient woodlands, meandering rivers, chalk downland, traditional orchards and tranquility with pockets of postcard-picture villages dotted throughout, await the visitor.

Covering an area of just over 560 square miles, the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is considered to be one of the best surviving medieval landscapes in Northern Europe. It covers, at the heart of South East England, parts of Kent, Sussex and Surrey. This "natural beauty" is made up of small irregular-shaped fields, (often the remnants of medieval hunting forests), ancient woods, scattered farmsteads, narrow, sunken lanes (ideal for dog walking) and hamlets and villages. These hamlets and villages developed from temporary buildings ibn wooded areas (known as "dens") where farmers grazed their pigs. In my area, for example, we have Tenterden, Biddenden and Benenden where the buildings are, characteristically, timber, stone and white weather-boarded. The main industries in the area include farming, agriculture and tourism. For tourists, round my home town of Cranbrook, we are lucky to have three castles, Sissinghurst, Scotney and Bodiam. Also, apart from the woods at Sissinghurst, we are lucky to be not that far away from Bedgebury Pinetum. I consider myself to be very lucky to live in this Area of Outstanding NaturaL Beautyn and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to visit one of England's finest landscapes

We played both The Moonlit Wild and Murder on the dance floor and we were not disappointed. Both games were extremely fun with a nice variety of puzzles and clues. Mike and Keri were absolutely lovely and friendly. You can see the effort and the passion that they put into their rooms thanks to their creativity and imagination. The sets and the props were exquisitely made, the games flowed really well and the whole experience was fantastic since we first walked in. Big welcome, fun chats and clear explanation of the rules. We can't wait to see what other games Mike and Keri have in store for us. You can never have enough! Pressure Point has quickly become one of our favourites. Great job guys!

Run by enthiusiastic volunteers for the local council, this Mill is fully working and if you ar lucky and the wind is right you can watch corn being ground into flour and even buy the flour. This is of the wholemeal stoneground variety and I am told makes great Christmas cake. Runs entirely by unpaid volunteers you can even join the "Friends" who raise most of the money to keep the Mill working. A local hidden gem.

Lovely pub in a quiet area. Staff were fantastic, polite and very helpful with seating us to suit our baby and pram. Service was very professional and helpful. The food was amazing and didn't take long to come to our table. Staff were fantastic and the layout made everyone feel safe. Will, definitely be back in the future.

Love this place a short walk from our house and loads of room to run. Was an absolute godsend whilst we were in isolation. A quiet place to get back to nature.
