Overview

This is a clockwise circular loop of around 6 miles to the South and West of Penshurst, initially following the river towards Fordcombe, then returning past the Bottle House pub. Post walk drinks in the garden of the Leicester Arms pub, across the road from the start point. Please ensure that you arrive in plenty of time to start walking at 5.45pm as we want to arrive back in good light.

If you can, please RSVP to this walk via our Meetup site. This will give our volunteer walk leaders an idea of how many are attending.
