Cowden Pound Pastures
Cowden Pound Pastures is a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north of Cowden in Kent. It is managed by the Kent Wildlife Trust This is unimproved neutral grassland, which is a nationally rare habitat, and it is grazed to prevent scrub invading the pasture. Grasses include crested dog's tail and common knapweed, and an area of wet grassland by a stream has jointed rush and water mint. There is access from the drive to Walnut Tree Cottage on Hartfield Road, but the gate is padlocked.
