Overview

Brisk 3 mph walk

Combining woodland, fields, historic villages, a majestic mausoleum and a public footpath through huge vineyards.

There are some steep undulations before and after lunch.  Walking sticks and supportive footwear are therefore recommended. Snacks and plenty of liquids are encouraged especially during the warmer weather.

  • Wealdway
  • Bushy Wood
  • Medway River: lunch circa 7 miles
  • Cuxton
  • Cobham

Bring a picnic lunch. There will be time for a quick drink at the newly reopened "5 Bells Pub". There is also a convenience store, where all (machine) hot beverages are priced at £1.59 a cup.

There are ample spaces and benches to sit at lunchtime, by the river, or in the churchyard.

There are no exit points.
