Overview

Park at the Pavilion car park by Charing playing fields, at the end of road called The Moat. There are public toilets in the village by the bus stop on The Old Ashford Road... if you intend to use beforehand, please allow extra time for this as we won't be passing them on our walk.\nWe head north west to join the North Downs way, then up through fields and along quiet country lanes to stop at The Plough, Stalisfield for drinks, snacks & comfort break. Please bring your own packed lunch, we can picnic on the green outside pub area, and will be here for approx 30-40 mins. If the weather is bad we'll make this a brief stop before returning back to Charing \nThe Pavilion will be open for drinks.
