River Eden

Highlight • River

A tributary of the River Medway, the River Eden runs from Titsey to the River Medway near Penshurst in Kent. The river historically powered many mills in Kent and Surrey, fuelling growth and industrial revolution in the area. Along its banks, you will find many friendly pubs as well as diverse wildlife. It's also a popular place to fish for pike and perch.

Crowhurst Yew Tree

Highlight • Historical Site

This massive, hollow yew tree stands guard over St Georges churchyard in Crowhurst and is thought to be some 4000 years old. The first record of its girth comes in a parish note of 1630, when it was measured at 30 feet (9.1m). John Evelyn in 1664 recorded that there was a yew “in the churchyward of Crowhurst in the county of Surrey, which I am told is ten yards in compass”, but modern measurement states 34 feet. Further recorded by John Aubrey in his Natural History & Antiquities Of The County Of Surrey (1718/1719) the yew boasts a hollow interior space of about 6 feet, with a doorway and wooden door.
