This steep path leads up from Beacon Road to Ash Three Lane. Darland Banks on the southern edge of Gillingham is a fine chalk grassland, interspersed with scrub and secondary woodland. The population of man orchids is one of the largest in the United Kingdom. The area has been accessible for more than a hundred years and the grassland slopes were historically used as common land for the grazing of cattle and sheep.
