Overview

A walking exploring some beautiful countryside around the village of Hollingbourne. Pub stop shortly after lunch for drinks only. Towards the walk's end, we pass the grand, moated, castle near the village of Leeds (not to be confused with the much more obscure city in Yorkshire).

Bring a packed lunch and a torch. Optional pub stop at the end.
