This 12-mile walk from Lenham up to the North Downs is a repeat of a walk that proved popular early last year, it is a good one, so you definitely won't want to miss it this year!
Initially from Lenham we follow the Stour Valley Walk, before crossing the A20 to ascend to Warren Street & Kite Hill Wood, to then pass the "mysterious lady in the woods". Our route then meanders through Stalisfield Green going past the Plough Inn to then reach the Bowl Inn above Charing, where we will make our pub pit stop.
We then descend to meet the North Down Way/Pilgrims Way, which we follow back to the Lenham Cross on the latter stages of the walk.
There will be the usual snack break along the way, as well as the planned pub stop, with further refreshment opportunities once back at Lenham.
There are a few climbs to get the heart pumping nicely, but nothing too taxing for the regular walker, could be a bit muddy in places.
Walk leader is Kevin Hall
