Overview

At the start we have a steady climb through farmland up to the North Down Way (steep at the end). We then walk across the Downs through woodland.  We then descend the Downs for our short lunch stop at the ancient White Horse Stone.  There are some steep steps on the way down. After lunch we proceed back to Penenden Heath via the remains of Boxley Abbey and Cuckoo Wood. Pub at end of walk (The Bull).
