Overview

Parking by The Green where the walk starts. EX147. We pick up the Eden Valley path at the Straight Mile, walk around Haysden Water before reaching Haysden Country Park (toilets and coffee stop!).  Walk around Barden Water, over Lucifer Bridge and on to Tonbridge for lunch at Wetherspoon's Humphrey Bean.  Return via grounds of Tonbridge School and Hawden farm.  Good river, lakeside and field paths. Very flat.
