Overview

This is a walk of around 11 miles starting from the West Wood car park, which is located at Lyminge Forest.

We initially head along the road, before turning northwards to meander to Park Gate and then Bladbean, before turning south toward Grimsacre.

On reaching North Elham, we join the Elham Valley Way, which we follow to Elham. When we reach the picturesque village, our lunch break will take place, so don't forget your sarnies. Whilst here, we will we also enjoy the obligatory pub stop, before continuing on our merry way via Exted and back to West Wood.

Walk leader is Kevin Hall
