Horsenden Hill is a site of ancient woodland, wildflower meadows and varied wildlife, in a place of historical interest with archaeological finds dating back to Neolithic, Roman, Saxon, Tudor, Victorian and more recent times. There is so much to explore; and children in particular love to find the Gruffalo Trail where these adorable creatures hide in the woodlands. The hill is open to visitors all year round, and suitable for families, walkers and four legged friends (although please keep them on their leash when cows are grazing). Horsenden Farm has an active Friends group who organise some of the Borough's most popular public events such as our annual Apple Day. We practise traditional woodland management techniques such as coppicing, hedgelaying, managing a tree nursery and restoring lost orchards. We run regular courses and volunteer sessions for anyone who wishes to learn and practice these skills.
