description
White Horse Wood Country Park, located at the top of Detling Hill, is a 65 acre site incorporating maturing woodland, planted in 2000/2001, open spaces and the ruins of Thurnham Castle. The site is located in the Kent Downs AONB and contains Thurnham Castle which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and remnants of an iron age fort.
The site has the potential to operate as a natural burial site as well as a country park. The Council would like to engage with interested parties to understand the potential development of the site, with a particular focus on the following elements;
| • | Dual operation of White Horse Woods as a public country park for recreation and leisure as well as a natural burial site for both body burial and ash interment. |
| • | Delivery of facilities including but not limited to a multifunctional building and toilets. |
| • | Opportunities for educational learning on site, community engagement and volunteering. |
| • | Opportunity for alternative income generating activities that are in keeping with the development of the country park as described above. |
| • | Sustainable management of the country park post commercial burial activity |
