Lydden Temple Ewell National Nature Reserve
Lydden Temple Ewell NNR, managed by the Kent wildlife Trust, consists of chalk downland, mainly species rich, ancient semi-natural grassland with marginal woodland, scattered scrub and hedgerows. The reserve lies on a south facing slope and can be very steep in places. Visitors are asked to keep to the paths and leave gates as they find them. Dogs should be kept under control at all times due to grazing animals. The reserve is bordered by several roads and these kerbside habitats are also managed as Roadside Reserves. The reserve has little signage on the road but the free car park, and access into the reserve, is situated behind the houses in the middle of Temple Ewell village, on the north side of London Road, opposite the entrance to the High Street.
Easy access information
This park and open space contains uneven trails, un-surfaced or narrow pathways. Also, there are width restricting features, such as stiles and narrow gaps making it difficult for visitors with pushchairs and/or wheelchairs to access some parts of the site.
