If you are planning on travelling distance to attractions, we would recommend that you contact the venues directly in advance to avoid disappointment.

If you, or any of your party have a new persistant cough, or develop a fever of 38C, we would instead advise you to use the NHS's dedicated website for professional advice.

Oare Gunpowder Works Country Park

Lying just outside of Faversham town centre Oare Gunpowder Works Country Park is a hidden gem waiting for you to explore. Autumn is a time of plenty with an abundance of fruits, berries, nuts and seeds. Over the next few months we will see the wonderful changes of autumn. The Park will be a spectacle of colour as the leaves begin to fall, the woods will be full of bird song from our wintering visitors and animals are getting ready to hunker down for the cold of winter, filling their bellies with the feast of the forest.
Oare Gunpowder Works Country Park is made up of a combination of different habitats which is what makes this site so spectacular for wildlife. From fire crests darting through the canopy to weasels stalking through the undergrowth, autumn offers a variety of life to be on the lookout for.
