Overview

We meet on New Road Hill, Aldington. If you use what3words, “water.sway.punchy”. Free parking on roadside. We walk eastwards through woodland and fields to Aldington Church, then work our way south, with views over the Channel, & downhill to the Royal Military Canal. We follow the canal west past Bonnington Church to Bilsington, then return home through more countryside & woodland. This is a fairly gentle, very rural walk.
