Overview
Trosley Country park is located close to Vigo and is managed by KCC. Once part of the Trosley Towers estate, Trosley is situated on the North Downs with stunning views over the Weald of Kent, and is a mix of woodland and chalk grassland
Map / Terrain
Mostly wooded area with a steep scarp slope on the southern side
Scale is 1:7,500 so is larger than Ordinance Survey. Map also shows more detail – fences, knolls, depressions, distinctive trees, and uses different colours to aid navigation – yellow is open land, white is runnable woodland, light through to dark green represents woodland that is increasingly difficult to pass through.
