The ground around the originally 17th century Tyland Barn was a level field until 1991. Then part of the grounds was excavated to form a pond and the grounds have subsequently been laid out and managed to illustrate a variety of Kentish habitats and wildlife. Tyland barn is the headquarters of the Kent Wildlife Trust - see http://www.kentwildlifetrust.org.uk/reserves/tyland-barn This is the Chalk Bank which was created from turves saved from quarrying operations.
