We start at Hadlow College and head north towards Oxenhoath up to the first high point of the walk and join the Wealdway for fine views south. We then head due east through the picturesque West Peckham before ascending again to East Peckham church. We then descend down to Roydon Hall via a detour to see the ruins of the grand entrance gates of Mereworth Castle. Our return route to Hadlow is much flatter as we traverse the orchards of the Medway Valley. Look out for Hadlow Tower to guide us home!
We will be having a picnic lunch en route so please bring suitable snacks. It will also be muddy along the Medway Valley so wear suitable footwear.
If you can, please RSVP to this walk via our Meetup site. This will give our volunteer walk leaders an idea of how many are attending.
