Overview

This walk starts from The Square, Elham by the entrance to St Mary’s Church.

There is some free car parking in The Square – alternatively, park considerately on nearby roads.

Elham is served by the number 17 bus from Canterbury and Folkestone and the start point is close to the Rose and Crown stop in the village.

This circular walk leaves Elham via Tye Wood then goes via Magpie Lane, Exted, Upper Park Gate, Stable Gate Farm, Grimsacre and North Elham.

There are some slopes.  There will be livestock in several places.There are several stiles which may not be dog-friendly but well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome – so be prepared to lift them over the stiles if necessary.

Expected finish time is around 13.00.

There are toilets in Elham and there will be refreshment opportunities at the Elham Tea House or The Kings Arms at the end of the walk.  The Tea House may also be open before we start.
