Overview

The postcode is for the Co-op carpark, just off the High Street, Cranbrook. Once the co-op store is on your RHS, look to park over on the left near the recycling area - parking is free, the public toilets here may or may not be open. We walk west via Swattenden, through Bedgebury pinetum with a lunch stop at the Visitor centre (toilets here) after approx 8 miles. There's a canteen area, so no booking is needed and although there are no roasts, there are plenty of options. Then return to Cranbrook with possible tearoom/pub visit depending on time at end of walk.
