Located 1m W of Faversham, just off the B2045 and close to the M2, the newly-restored site offers glimpses into the past art of making gunpowder. Following signed woodland and waterside trails, you will see narrow-gauge canals once used by powder punts, a mill-pond, an 80-year-old powder mill repatriated from Ayrshire, danger houses, and at weekends a Visitor Centre, with displays explaining how gunpowder is made, how the site has developed, and what is its wildlife interest.
