Tonbridge & Malling Group

Walking in and around Tonbridge & Malling

Welcome to our friendly group based within Tonbridge & Malling, in the heart of Kent. 

On our Sunday and mid-week walks we explore the beautiful countryside within Tonbridge & Malling and surrounding areas. Our group walks are mostly circular with a moderate pace over 4-6 miles. There is a short break about half-way through the walk (bring refreshments) and we usually finish at or near a local pub.  

Meeting points, start times and walk leader contacts, are shown in the details of our upcoming walks. You don’t need to book in advance; you can just turn up on the day (please arrive at least ten minutes before the start time). However, if you are new to our walks, it’s a good idea to contact the walk leader beforehand to check that their walk will suit you. 

We look forward to welcoming you on a walk soon! 

Join our walking community

You don’t have to be a member of the Ramblers to try out a couple of walks, to help you decide if you’d like to join and continue walking with us, or other groups. We hope you’ll find we are a friendly group, always keen to welcome and encourage new walkers.   

We’re fortunate to be near several named paths and we often venture onto the North Downs Way, Pilgrims Way, Greensand Way and the Wealdway, and along the Medway, Darent and Eden River valleys. Typically, we walk through farmland, orchards, vineyards, woodland and the quiet roads of traditional Kent villages. 

Some of our members volunteer to check the local footpaths periodically and report any issues such as broken stiles and gates, signage, fallen trees and other obstructions.
