Overview

Explore the  meadows and woods of the North Downs escarpment with extensive views over 18th century Chevening House, starting from the village of Knockholt.

There is some road walking, 3 stiles and 3 hills one of which towards the end is particularly challenging. You may see some wildlife, deer and red kite and we walk through sheep fields so dogs on short leads. It will be muddy .

Nibble break 2/3 of way round at St Botolph’s church, Chevening. This will be shortly before our challenging ascent  to the North Downs escarpment.
