Highlight • Viewpoint

Here, you get an epic view of this unusual geological formation. Named the Devil's Kneading Trough after its deep bowl-like appearance, this dry-sided valley is made all the more impressive by the incredible views out over the Kent Downs Area of National Beauty.

Millennium Stone and Wye Crown viewpoint

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Millennium Stone sits directly above the Wye Crown; a massive white crown carved into the hillside by students from Wye Agricultural Village in 1902 to celebrate the coronation of King Edward VII. The stone itself was placed to mark the turning of the millennium by the Crown Management committee. It's perfectly placed to highlight the incredible view out across Romney Marshes all the way to the English Channel.
