Oldbury Hill Campsite offers a relaxing and easy getaway in a Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where you can explore the neighbouring woods and hill fort, or walk a little further to Ightham Mote’s 14th-century moated manor house, gardens and estate. You’ll have free entry here during your stay as well as at all other National Trust properties, including Knowle and Chartwell which are a short drive away.
