Clowes Wood to the left here is one of several large woodlands north of Canterbury known as the Blean. This is one of the most important areas of ancient woodland in Britain, including woodland types of international importance. The Blean was traditionally coppiced and parts of Clowes Wood are still managed in this way. One of the rarer trees here is the small-leaved lime. It grows in just one location here but was once one of the commonest trees in southern England. Its decline is thought to be due to the effects of grazing animals and a change in the climate. This looks along Radfall Road with Clowes Wood on the left and Thornden Wood across the road to the right.
