We are the West London Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This walk explores a variety of landscapes in the chalk grassland of the Kent Downs, with an early stretch through redundant farmland being transformed into Jeskyns Community Woodland. After a circuit around a fine collection of veteran trees in Ashenbank Wood the walk comes to the attractive village of Cobham, for a picnic lunch. This small village has a surprisingly large parish church containing a magnificent tomb as well as a noteworthy collection of medieval brasses which were fortunate to survive the religious upheavals of the 16th and 17thC.
After lunch the walk goes through Cobham Park with its restored neo-classical monument, the Darnley Mausoleum.
This walk will have a brisk pace.
Get the 1010 train from Victoria, arriving Meopham at 1043. Return trains from Sole Street are hourly, but there is a pub by the station.
