Assessment criteria
Ancient woodland
Officially designated ancient woodland (pre-1600 continuous cover) or confirmed SSSI. Partial credit for near-ancient or medieval character.
Toilet access
On-site preferred. Nearby within 5 min walk is acceptable. No toilets is a significant barrier for public sessions of 20 people.
Parking capacity
Space for up to 10 cars required. Dedicated car park preferred. Street-only or private-access parking rates poorly.
Drive time
Maximum 20 minutes from Tonbridge town centre. Sites beyond this are flagged with a warning.
Contactable landowner
Must have a named, reachable owner or manager — essential for securing a commercial forest bathing licence.
Forest bathing suitability
Immersive woodland feel, biodiversity, relative quiet, sensory richness. Urban-edge or heavily-managed sites score lower.
Rating scale
5/5Meets all criteria. Ready to approach landowner for commercial licence.
4/5Strong candidate. One minor solvable gap.
3.5/5Good potential. One significant gap such as drive time or toilet distance.
3/5Viable with workarounds. Two gaps to address.
2.5/5Marginal. Notable deficiencies in two or more areas.
2/5Not recommended. Key practical requirements are unmet.
Research process
1Web search to identify the woodland and confirm its location within 20 minutes of Tonbridge
2Cross-reference Natural England ancient woodland inventory and Woodland Trust records
3Check Explore Kent, Forestry England, and KHWP for toilet and parking information
4Verify the landowner via official website, Wikipedia, or council records and find contact details
5Cross-check Google Maps reviews and AllTrails for real-world visitor experience
6Apply the criteria matrix and assign a viability rating with full pros, cons and contact details
Saved data
Your location list is automatically saved to your browser each time you add or remove a site.
Checking storage…
Import from backup
Paste a previously exported JSON backup to restore your data — for example when moving to a hosted version of this app.
How to host this app
Hosting on a real URL means localStorage works reliably across all devices and browsers, and you can access the app from your phone without downloading the file.
Why host it? When you open this file directly from disk (the
file:// protocol), some browsers restrict localStorage. Hosting it at a real URL (even a free one) removes this restriction entirely and makes the app accessible from any device.
Three free options — pick any one
Netlify Drop
Drag and drop the HTML file. Live in 30 seconds. No account needed initially.
app.netlify.com/drop →
app.netlify.com/drop →
GitHub Pages
Upload the file to a GitHub repo, enable Pages in Settings. Free, permanent URL.
pages.github.com →
pages.github.com →
Vercel
Drop the file into a new project. Deploys instantly with a shareable URL.

Steps for Netlify Drop (easiest)
1
Export your data first
Click Export backup (JSON) above and save the file. This captures all locations you've added so far.
2
Go to Netlify Drop
Visit app.netlify.com/drop. No account required for the first deploy.
3
Drag and drop the HTML file
Drag
forest_bathing_location_finder.html onto the Netlify page. It will give you a live URL immediately, e.g. random-name.netlify.app.4
Open the hosted URL and import your data
Open the Netlify URL, go to Data & hosting → Import from backup, paste your exported JSON, and click Import. Your locations are restored and will now persist reliably.
5
Bookmark it
Bookmark the Netlify URL on your phone and desktop. When you add new locations via AI search, they save automatically and persist across sessions.
6
Re-deploy when you update the file
If you receive an updated version of this HTML file from Claude, export your data first, then drag the new file to Netlify (it will update the same URL), then re-import your data. Netlify accounts allow you to lock in a custom URL across re-deploys.
Note on localStorage: Data is stored in your browser, not on a server. This means it's private to your device and browser. If you use the app on your phone and your laptop, each device has its own storage — use Export/Import to sync between them.
