A Ramblers group with walks of about 4 - 6 miles. We explore the beautiful Kent countryside from within the Tonbridge and Malling area and, occasionally, further afield.

This winter walk starts from Platt Church with a climb through the churchyard into Platt Woods and along two short woodland sections of the Wealdway, interspersed by quiet lanes. On leaving the Wealdway, we'll cross open farmland with views of the North Downs and the seven 'Grey Ladies' oast houses. Passing through the hamlet of Crouch we'll take the lane to Claygate Cross and down Plough Hill to Basted Mill. We'll return to Platt via a steep bridleway alongside Long Bottom Wood.
Non-members are welcome to join this walk as one of their three free 'taster' Ramblers walks.
The two quite steep uphill sections of this walk are likely to be muddy. Walking poles are recommended. No stiles. Dogs on short leads are welcome but note there is some lane walking.
Nibble break at Basted Mill.
Drinks after the walk at The Blue Anchor near Platt Church. Lunches also available - please book in advance on 01732 885 498, mentioning Tonbridge and Malling Ramblers.
PLEASE BE READY 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE START OF THE WALK TO REGISTER AND TO HEAR THE WALK BRIEFING. Park tidily along Comp Lane near Platt Church, Long Mill Lane, TN18 8NE or in Greenlands cul-de-sac (TN15 8LL) off Long Mill Lane. Meet by the church steps.
