Quex Park is a unique country Park of 250 acres in East Kent set within an estate of 1800 acres around Birchington, Acol and Richborough. The Park is an oasis of parkland and trees in a Thanet landscape of open topography and urban development. All the trees were planted in the 19th Century by John Powell Powell and his successors who realised when planting that they would never live to see the true beauty of their vision. The Park is a haven for birdlife with over 50 species recorded in the last few years.
