Overview

This anticlockwise circular walk takes us East through the woods in the direction of Hadlow, then North through the grounds of lovely Oxon Hoath, then Dunks Green and back to the start via the Fairlawne Estate.

Depending on our numbers and the weather, we could stop for a snack/drinks break at Oxon Hoath or outside the Kentish Rifleman.

The Chaser Inn at Shipbourne is about 150 metres from the start point, for any fancying a post walk drink or lunch.
