Fowlmead Country Park :: TR3453

Fowlmead Country Park is a 200-acre (80 hectare) park regenerated from the shale spoil tip of the former Betteshanger Colliery. The colliery was the last of the four Kent coal mines to close in 1989 and the land languished unused until 2000 when the regional development agency, SEEDA (South East England Development Agency), acquired the freehold and set to redeveloping the brownfield site into a country park.
This £18.8m development is an example of regeneration at its best, providing activities such as walking, cycling, fossiling and geocaching. Families can also enjoy the new play area and kids can have fun on the BMX tracks.
