Doggers in Kent are being warned to take extra care this bonfire season in case the public are given an explosion they’ll never forget. Users of open-air dogging locations in Kent are warned not to frequent places families are likely to be visiting for fireworks displays. One dogger said “If we get disrupted by a family out for an evening on Bonfire Night or whatever, we’re just going to have the boys in blue all over the place.” Dogging Action recommends Blue Bell Hill and Cobtree Manor Country Park in Forstal Road for ‘late night dogging and also Detling Hill at Bimbury Lane. One desperate dogger, who is new to Medway, pleads: “I am looking for something midweek, dogging locations anywhere in the county but Maidstone, Medway, Swale, Ashford, Dover, Folkestone, and Canterbury areas would be great.”
Dogging in Kent is as Good as Dogging in the Garden of England. Meet Randy Local Kent Doggers from Maidstone, Ashford, Ramsgate and Canterbury.

Maidstone
- Cobtree Manor Country Park near Maidstone. Used to be very good last year then went quiet due to the boys in blue. But it is now becoming very active again. It is also a good gay cruising spot.
- Detling, lay by off A249 heading towards Sheerness, just after garage on left, follow signs to Aerodrome Industrial Estate, always some action there at night after 10pm.

Sheldwich Church Car Park
- Leave Faversham on the A251, about 3 miles on the left you will see a church, turn left immediately past the church and into the car park. Dark and unlit and quiet. During the day older gay/bi guys and at night some couples. Very quiet and private so enjoy.
Shoreham Woods
- Shoreham woods near Junction 4 of M25 is a good place, fairly quiet but some couples action. Located off A224. Leave M25 at J4 up to first roundabout, sharp left on to A224 to Halstead, Badgers Mount. Two miles to first roundabout, turn left into small country lane. Shoreham Woods on right, set back off road. If you end up going back under M25 you have missed it! During the day this is a well frequented “normal” picnic site with kids & couples really walking their dogs etc. However by night this has got to be the best Kent dogging site! It is set back off the road, so main beam brigade have to negotiate a winding approach road which does not illuminate the whole area as there are loads of recessed parking bays. There are woods nearby for the outdoor types who like their dogging action au natural. Even picnic benches so you can avoid the damp grass! A Doggers paradise.
Snodland
- Holly Hill, Open Space Car Park. This is the most active dogging location in Kent and it’s a very secluded place, surrounded by beautiful countryside with woods directly adjacent to car park for outdoor types! I would advise you only to use this site after 5pm on weekdays as you do get school trips etc. during the day. Very good for couples and exhibitionists who like to be watched outdoors, also a gay, well more a Bi scene developing. Action every weeknight, and all through the day on weekends.
Tenterden Leisure Centre
- Picking up behind Tenterden leisure centre, Friday nights from 8pm onwards.
Teynham
- Come off the A2 at Norton cross roads down to the lower road, turn left then right under the rail bridge, go all the way down past the orchards, nice parking place on the left then on the right a bit further on.
- From a2 take Station Road at Crispins, follow to end take right, Teynham Station, then first left into Conyer Road, follow down to the church, there is a turning on right at farm, follow track, nice secluded car park up there with great views, seen some couples there making out, happy to have watchers and fumblers.
Tonbridge
- Great dogging site on St Marys Lane in the woods, very active.
- Haysden Country Park, go down Brook Street past the college, turn down Lower Haysden Lane and turn into the park, some people do it at the gate car park if they are locked other wise drive down to the end car park.
