Overview

Inspired by "The Trinity" from the Walk Tonbridge website, this lovely c.8 mile route includes 3 quaint churches to host our snack and factoid breaks but we'll resist two other pubs to enjoy hospitality at the Dovecote Inn at the end. We can leave our cars there but space is limited so please share lifts if possible and park thoughtfully to leave room for regular Sunday customers. Well behaved dogs welcome but please use short leads near sheep, horses and along quiet lanes.
