A lovely walk on the NDW up from Detling and along the ridge above Thurnham, passing the ruin of Thurnham Castle. Far-reaching views on a clear day, with more than a glimpse of the (fairly) new vineyards along the Pilgrims Way. The return leg takes us past Cobham Manor and Oast past St. Mary's Church in Thurnham along a track through the vines. The Cock Inn beckons for refreshments at the end of the walk.

No dogs, please.
This walk is less than 6 miles long, but quite challenging because of a number of ascents and descents. These are mostly via steps, but the paths can be slippery after rain and walking poles are recommended. No stiles! The return leg is completely flat.
Walk starts by the Cock Inn in Detling. Roadside parking in Detling. The village can be reached from the M20. Leave at junction 7 and take the A249 in the Sheerness direction. Filter right as the turning to Detling is located just 1/2 mile from the junction. Continue past the church to the village centre and the Cock Inn.
