Ancient bluebell woodland smothered in illegal waste.

Hoad's Wood in Kent is known as a local beauty spot but has been branded an "environmental disaster" after thousands of tonnes of waste were illegally dumped on the land.

In some areas, the landfill waste is about 25ft deep, according to locals, and the mountains of waste have been growing for at least four years.
