Overview

How about this longer walk on a Saturday

Starting in Borough Green then down through Basted Mill, passing Old Soars Manor and Dunks Green to Shipbourne for a picnic lunch, and maybe a libation from The Chaser. Return through the Fairlawne Estate and orchards. A mix of footpaths and quiet lanes.

Late News: please leave extra time to access the Western Rd Car Park in Borough Green from the west end off the A25. As of Friday lunchtime the eastern end of Western Rd is closed for roadworks.
