Overview

Start from Farthing Common carpark and walk along the North Downs Way with great views south and out to sea, then around Summerhouse Hill. Here you can quickly divert and walk to the top for the view then back down (not compulsory) to continue to Newington and Peene, where there is a tearoom with toilets. Return via Elham Valley Way to Tolsford Hill (on the way we can stop for another break if weather is good) then north to Lyminge before returning to FC carpark. There are some hills on this walk, but the views are amazing making it very worthwhile.
