Overview

This walk explores the hills of northern Kent, mixing woodland areas with fantastic views and undulating fields. Fast pace, and relatively hilly including some steep sections (600m ascent). After lunch we pass a community shop/cafe, which closes early so a cake break depends on the pace! The site has public toilets which should be open. Bring a packed lunch. Pub(s) at the end.

Terrain: Hills, woods and fields.
