Overview

From one pretty village to another, this section initially follows the Pilgrim’s Way through the woods at Westwell Downs and then passes through arable fields before arriving at Boughton Lees where shortly after the trail divides. We will be taking the northern route which will take us through Godmersham Park and into Chilham, where we may stop at a pub if you wish to join us.

After leaving Charing, there are no facilities until Chilham so please bring a packed lunch.
