A Ramblers group with walks of about 4 - 6 miles. We explore the beautiful Kent countryside from within the Tonbridge and Malling area and, occasionally, further afield.

A walk for the early risers to hopefully see the sun and stop to listen to the birds. It’s a circular walk from Ightham Mote , through Scathes Wood, before taking in far reaching views of the Kentish countryside, through Fairlawne estate and onto Shipbourne before returning to the Mote for brunch at the cafe (bacon , sausage, or vegan sausage baps) as well as the usual cakes and drink selection. The cafe opens at 10 am .
It is undulating with one steeper slope towards the end and there are 10 stiles. We will be walking through fields with livestock so be aware if you intend to bring your dog put on a short lead only.
If you are not a National Trust member you must pay for parking (£3 all day) and members need to use their card at the machine in the car park.
The toilets in the car park are only open from 10.00am
