Overview

Meet in Portland Road car park (height restriction) free at this time of year - by The Green, Hythe behind the former Duke’s Head pub. Alternatively, park free nearby along A259 Dymchurch Road/ Military Road on either side of the Military Canal. 

The start point is close to the Red Lion Square bus stops served by buses from Folkestone, Dymchurch, Canterbury and Ashford.

This circular walk will leave Hythe following the Elham Valley Way as far as Tolsford Hill and involves around 290 metres of climb with a couple of short steep sections but we’ll aim to maintain a comfortable pace throughout.

We will have a refreshment stop along the way – please bring your own food and drink.

Our return from our high point on Tolsford Hill is all downhill via Saltwood.

There are some stiles and we will encounter livestock.  Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome but the stiles may not be dog-friendly.

Expected return time is around 15.00

There are lots of refreshment opportunities and public toilets in Hythe
