Overview

An undulating walk with numerous ups and downs, though no major ascents other than the last one entering Goudhurst. The route takes us through open country including numerous orchards and farms.

We leave the picturesque Goudhurst and pass Ladham House and  Finchurst Farm before we enter the orchards of Grovehurst and Hayman's Hill Farms as we pass to the North of Horsmonden towards the evocatively named Swigs Hole Farm.  The route takes up to Castle Hill with its views over the country to the North as we drop down through the woods of the Knole and its earthworks into Brenchley where we admire the buildings of the village centre and pass through the churchyard towards the iconic Half Way House where we will take our picnics and refreshments as wished.

After lunch we will climb back up to join the High Weald Landscape TRail which we will follow all the way back to Goudhurst past an ancient ironworks site and Sprivers, a National Trust house and park.
