Overview

From East Malling village we will walk to West Malling via Cobb's Hall and Springate Farm.  At Manor Park Country Park we will stop for tea/coffee at the café, toilets also available.  Venturing back to East Malling, we pass through Broadwater Farm and an ancient pond which was mentioned in the Domesday Book, then on to Well Street with its once cultivated Watercress Beds, before arriving back at East Malling.
