Overview

A walking exploring some beautiful countryside around the village of Hollingbourne, including numerous woodland sections with good potential for bluebells, and a pub stop shortly after lunch for drinks only. Towards the walk's end, we pass the grand, moated, castle near the village of Leeds (not to be confused with the much more obscure city in Yorkshire).

Bring a packed lunch. Optional pub stop at the end. 

Terrain: footpaths, woodland.

Travel: Take the 9:55 train from London Victoria (10:12 Bromley South), arrive in Hollingbourne at 11:09.

Buy a return to Hollingbourne.
