Welcome to Heaths Countryside Corridor!
Welcome to the HCC website. Have a look around!

Heaths Countryside Corridor is a local community project that relies on local interest and management. It was born out of a desire to provide places for local people to go and for wildlife to thrive and the group now owns three sites in the Lenham Heath and Charing Heath area. We hope that the local community enjoys visiting our three sites and being involved in the various activites and events we organise each year.

The objects of the Heaths Countryside Corridor are "to conserve and enhance, for the benefit of the public, the natural beauty and habitats of the Greensand belt area around Charing and Lenham and to educate the public in all matters relating to the natural and physical environment and its conservation and protection".

Get Involved!

We Need Your Memories (and your acting skills)
Event flier for Sweetly Watered PlaceThe Heaths Countryside Corridor will be breaking new ground and holding an interpretive play (basically a guided walk that includes a performance of a play as we move around the area) on July 1st, 2012.  The play, entitled 'Sweetly Watered Place' will chart the history of Chilston Park and some of the dramatic changes that have taken place in the landscape over the years.

We need your help! 

The play will contain memories based on oral and written histories but also of the memories of local people.  We'd love to find out what you remember about the Heaths Countryside Corridor area.  Either let Sally Evans ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) know what you remember or fill in the questionnaire and return this.  Your stories will help us to record yhe history of the area that is so precious to us all as well as form an integral part of the performance on July 1st.

Any budding thespians?

Local people are what will make this event special.  We are looking for people who are prepared to play a part in the performance.  These can be small parts or main roles depending upon what you feel comfortable doing.  No previous acting experience is necessary and last years' Ages of Windmill Hill performance at Perry Wood, Selling was a great success because of the local people who took part.  So why not take the plunge and volunteer by letting Sally Evans know what you would like to do by e-mail ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
