Overview

See some of the finest rolling countryside in Kent as we explore the North Downs Way and then head north up the Wealdway. There are a few demanding gradients and some muddiness but the reward is the rarely visited estuarine town of Gravesend with its Pocahontas statue, heritage quarter and views of the Thames. We will be walking at a moderate-to-brisk pace.

Bring a packed lunch. Pub stop for drinks only.

Travel: Take the 9:59 from Charing Cross (10:02 Waterloo East, 10:08 London Bridge), arr. 10:50 Borough Green & Wrotham.

Buy single to Borough Green & Wrotham and single back from Gravesend.
