Sevenoaks Ramblers organises a variety of walks on Wednesdays and Sundays in the wonderful countryside around Sevenoaks. Come and join us!
Following on from last week's megalith sighting, we explore the rich prehistory around the Medway. From Burham, we make our way up to Blue Bell Hill, the natural beauty of its swooping view punctuated by gritty industry. Closer at hand, we may see some early spring flowers on its rare chalk grassland habitat. We descend to two English Heritage neolithic burial sites at Kit's Coty. At another, the White Horse Stone, we jump into the medieval period on the Pilgrim's Way. We picnic in Boxley churchyard and can visit St Mary and All Saints church and/or have a drink at The King's Arms pub. We wend our way back to Burham via the ruins of Boxley Abbey, following the Rochester-Ramsgate Augustine Camino.
Please bring a picnic. Option for refreshments at The King's Arms, Boxley.
One steady climb at the beginning, to be taken at each walker's pace - no rush! No stiles. Footbridge over A229 after lunch.
Assistance dogs only please.
Meet at junction of Church Street and Rochester Road in Burham. There are two small free car parks at the Village Hall and in Bell Lane (another down Church Street is nearly always full). Alternatively, park considerately in Rochester Road or residential street. For scenic route, take A20 and turn off for Aylesford. Please car share if possible. For a lift from Shoreham Station, text the leader.
