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 (a charge may apply). Bring a packed lunch. Pub at the end, all welcome to join.

Please note the provided finish time is very approximate. Trains home are available all evening.

Terrain: Hills, woods and fields.

Travel: Take 9:26 from London Bridge (9:40 East Croydon), arrive Hurst Green 10:04, buy two singles, or use contactless.
