Overview

An undulating walk through woodland and across pasture and arable fields and lanes on the Sussex Kent borderlands. We walk short sections on the Sussex Border Path and The Wealdway, and follow the Tunbridge Wells Circular along a stream and through woods to our final destination. There are a number of stiles, a couple of short fairly steep climbs in the morning and the possibility of mud if its been raining.
