THE WOODLANDS AT TITSEY
There are two main blocks held in the Trustees of the Titsey Foundation's ownership. The first block is located on the North Downs on the land around Titsey Place, the second is the High Chart Woodland found at the southern most point of the estate on the Kent Hatch Road towards Crockham Hill. This land adjoins the National Trust (and indeed this National Trust land was gifted by the Leveson Gower family in the early 1970's) and forms a large area of woodland which is actively enjoyed by dog walkers, ramblers and nature enthusiasts alike.

THE TITSEY PLACE PLANTATION
These are steep slopes of the North Downs and the soil is chalky, there are mixed age broad-leaves ranging from mature giants to areas of regeneration following sporadic windblow. There are areas of windblow dating back to the 1987 storms which provide a wildlife habitat for local species of butterfly, insects and birds. There is a large colony of squirrels who have caused damage to some of the trees. There is a marked woodland walk around the woodland as shown on the plan below. There is a plan of the walk marked at the entrance to the main Titsey Park by Pitch-font Lodge. Woodland markers direct the visitor around the woods. Some of the paths are very steep and walkers must be prepared for difficult walking - there is a rope alongside the walk on some of the steeper routes to aid walkers.

HIGH CHART WOODLAND
The High Chart woodland leasehold interest was re-purchased in 1996 in response to local concern about proposed alternative uses. The Trustees were delighted to open these woodlands to the public all year around. Visitors are welcome to use the public footpaths and the rides but only on foot or other means of transport allowed by the regulations for public bridle-ways and footpaths. Some of the rides are marked but members of the public are advised to take landranger and ordnance plans with them on routes that they are not sure of. The woodland is mainly evergreens and conifers including corsican pine, western hemlock, firs and large areas of heather bracken and birch.

Both woodlands are open as much of the year as possible. The Trustees cannot guarantee that the private access routes in the woodlands are open 365 days per year but they are open the majority of the year.
