Overview

Meet at the free car park in Clowes Wood.

This is a circular walk through Thornden Wood to Herne Common and returning via West Blean Wood and the Nature Reserve towards Mintey’s Wood, back to Clowes Wood.

Being mainly a woodland walk please be prepared for some muddy paths. There are no steep hills.

There will be a 30-minute lunch stop at Herne Common where there is the opportunity to purchase refreshments from the Canterbury Garden Centre, otherwise please bring a packed lunch.
