Snodland Down, Kent

An area of downland in Kent proposed as 'worthy of preservation' for its many scarce plants and insects. Now part of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), the downland is protected as Trosley Country Park – a mix of wildlife-rich woodland and chalk grassland slopes. Also classified as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), it supports an array of butterflies including the rare chalkhill blue. Now managed by Kent County Council.
