Recent news.

New Lower Green Sign
We have recently installed a new explanatory sign at the top of the main entrance path in front of the lower green. This replaces the sign that has been there since the 1980's and was a little out of date.

Coronavirus update:-
Following Government guidance on reducing social contact, we are suspending our events programme for the next few months. This means that we will not be providing our usual free monthly tours but people are being encouraged to download our self-guided tours linked from this page.  We feel that a quiet walk round Kett’s Heights will lift the spirits.

​Note: Shardlake Tours operated by Paul Dickson will recommence in July and will be limited to small groups. Social distancing will be in place. Book early to avoid disappointment. See our Future Events page for up to date details.
Please  help us by taking a very quick survey. It's anonymous and will only take you about one minute to complete.  ​The results will help us in  deciding our future planning and advertising methods. ​Thank you.
