## Description
White Horse Wood Country Park, located at the top of Detling Hill, is a 65 acre site incorporating maturing woodland, planted in 2000/2001, open spaces and the ruins of Thurnham Castle.  The site is located in the Kent Downs AONB and contains Thurnham Castle which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and remnants of an iron age fort.
The site has the potential to operate as a natural burial site as well as a country park.  The Council would like to engage with interested parties to understand the potential development of the site, with a particular focus on the following elements;
•	Dual operation of White Horse Woods as a public country park for recreation and leisure as well as a natural burial site for both body burial and ash interment.
•	Delivery of facilities including but not limited to a multifunctional building and toilets.
•	Opportunities for educational learning on site, community engagement and volunteering.
•	Opportunity for alternative income generating activities that are in keeping with the development of the country park as described above.
•	Sustainable management of the country park post commercial burial activity
