Overview

Starting at Linton Church car park this is a beautiful walk through orchards down to the Loose Valley following the naturally occurring spring before heading towards East Farleigh and the River Medway. We will walk along the Medway to Teston Country Park where we will stop for lunch (Packed Lunch). 
After lunch we cross back over the Medway and head towards the Greensand Way, following this (with a couple of detours) back to Linton Church. 
Total distance 12.75 miles of mainly good track with some road sections.  As you would expect from this route there a few hills.
