BENENDEN COMMEMORATES CENTENARY OF ROTHERMERE RECREATIONAL GIFTS
A tree-planting ceremony was held on the Benenden recreation ground, adjoining the Village Hall, on Saturday September 21, 2024, to commemorate the centenary of major gifts to the village by the first Viscount Rothermere for the recreation of parishioners.
A facebook group has been set up for people who are interested in gaining and sharing knowledge of our local wildlife, wildflowers, trees and natural spaces.
If you want to help to create wildlife friendly spaces and corridors in our villages, please join us and together we can work to protect our beautiful landscape, flora and fauna.
Share your sightings and experiences, post your photos and ask your questions.
BENENDEN AND IDEN GREEN WELLS
Sometimes we don’t notice parts of our landscape, that is…until it’s gone or damaged. Sometimes elements of landscape, whether natural or man-made, are just there and barely get a glance as we drive, walk or ride past them every day. This is true of the fine Grade II Listed Victorian wells situated at the crossroads in Iden Green and Benenden.
