Overview

A scenic walk around the surrounds of Lamberhurst including a stop for lunch after mile 5 at historic Scotney with a tea (and cake) shop attached.  It is advertised as a ruined medieval castle with Victorian mansion, rolling parkland, ancient woodlands and picturesque garden.  Romance, drama and nature?  That's for you to discover....

There is likely to be some mud in the woods and fields and the route includes some moderate hills. 

There are public toilets at the start and finish point behind the village hall as well as at Scotney.
