Bras have been pictured hanging from a tree at a notorious park.
The lingerie was spotted among the leaves at Dartford Heath – a place which previously saw several men slapped with warnings after they were spotted acting indecently in the area.
Rich Cook, who lives off Iron Mill Lane in Crayford, spotted the odd sight during a family walk at the weekend.
The 43-year-old said: "I was walking the dog on Saturday through the woods and saw them in the tree.
"The sight caused my partner and daughter to both laugh.
"It is definitely the strangest thing we’ve seen so far at Dartford Heath.
"We've been wondering how they got there. My daughter thought they’d blown off a washing line!"
In 2015, Dartford’s Community Safety Unit was alerted after a resident witnessed sexual activity on the heath and reported the vehicle registration numbers to the team.
At the time the council refused to give specific details but said that there was not an “everyday term” that could be used to describe it.
During last year's extreme heatwave five fires broke out on the heath in the space of a month.
This isn't the first time that women's underwear has been discovered dangling from branches.
In 2017 mystery surrounded how six colourful bras had been put on the branches of a conifer.
They were seen in Kingston, near Canterbury.
