}}Chequer's Wood and Old Park is a {{convert| 106.9 |ha|acre|abbr=off |adj=on }} biological and geological Site of Special Scientific Interest on the eastern outskirts of Canterbury in Kent.[1][2] It is a Geological Conservation Review site.[3]

This site includes Fordwich Pit, which has yielded a large collection of early Acheulian handaxes, between 550,000 and 300,000 old. Habitats include alder wood in a valley bottom, acidic grassland on dry sandy soil, oak and birch woodland, scrub and a pond.[4][5]

The site is owned by Canterbury City Council and the Ministry of Defence, and includes a pond (Reed Pond) which is managed by a local environmental organisation. There is a footpath and cycle path through it and small areas formerly used by the military as training areas are restricted to the public.
