Overview

The walk starts from Harrietsham Railway Station and takes in some truly wonderful views of the North Downs which are spectacular on a clear day.

Crossing the railway line we start our ascent using The Pilgrims Way leading us on to the North Downs Way using a firm track underfoot, cutting through fields to reach the edge of a woodland area where we will pause for a short drink before cutting through Highland & Salisbury Woods heading in the direction of Ringlestone.

Having reached Ringlestone we will stop for a nibble break before making our way back through farmland whilst just passing the Ringlewood reservoirs until we are looking down on the North Downs where we experience some wonderful views of the stunning Kent countryside before desending back to the Pilgrims Way and our starting point.
