Eastling walk

This is an 11-mile walk starting from the small village of Eastling, which lies within the Syndale valley, 4.5 miles south west of Faversham.

We set off towards Eastling church, as we wind our way across to Doddington, then onwards beside the church, passing Doddington Place and Sharsted Court. Heading northerly, we cross the motorway and go through Lynsted Park, to soon reach Lynsted, the village is often referred to as "Lovely lovely Lynsted".  There is an ancient yew in the churchyard, the Black Lion pub is useful for a pit stop, whilst there is also a duck pond.

The final leg of this one, meanders across to Newnham, which we have passed through on previous walks, before returning to Eastling to complete the circuit.

There will be the short lunchbreak en route, and possibly a pub stop, whilst the Carpenters Arms is useful for a post walk gathering.
