Overview

Starting in the picturesque main Square in Elham, the walk follows the official Elham Valley Way path with its short, sharp ascent up to the top of the eastern slope before and calling in for an early coffee, cake, snack at the Fifth Trust charity cafe set in a lovely vineyard. We then climb up to the west side through pretty woodland and follow quiet lanes through farmland before descending into the village of Elham. \n\nThere is one pub in Elham, the Kings Arms www.thekingsarmselham.com but they only serve a roast on Sundays and its pretty expensive. We can have drinks there but we wont reserve a table. There are a number of stiles which are not always dog friendly plus there is a lot of livestock about. Therefore, its not recommended that you bring your dog.
