Description:

Tyland Barn is the headquarters of Kent Wildlife Trust. The restored 17th century barn is easily accessible by bus, bicycle and car. The barn houses a large exhibition on wildlife and conservation with plenty of hands-on displays for children. At various times of the year the barn also has tadpoles, bees and nesting birds.

Outside the barn there is a large demonstration nature park. This has a large pond, meadow, chalk bank and scrub habitats, as well as displays on composting, ‘green picnics’ and a wide variety of different native plant species. The car park also has recycling facilities.

Tyland Barn has a small shop and a cafe that serves a selection of drinks and sandwiches.
