Overview

This figure of 8 walk has 2 sections offering flexibility for anyone who is pushed for time (or if the weather is awful!). The first section is a loop of around 6.4 miles to the South and West of Penshurst. The section loop of around 2.4 miles is around Penshurst Park with some views of Penshurst Place. At the end of the walk, the cafe at Penshurst Place has plenty of capacity for coffee or lunch, or the Leicester Arms pub is within strolling distance. 

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.
