Overview

A leisurely circular walk starting and ending at the Partridge and Poacher inn, Tonbridge.  The walk crosses farmland before a short section of road leading to Hartlake Bridge where we continue walking along the river bank, passing locks and pillar boxes before emerging onto Canon Lane Industrial Estate. The walk continues along Postern Lane, apple orchards and farmland ending up back at the pub.  There are no hills on the route but the riverbank will probably be muddy so walking boots/wellies are a necessity.

There won’t be a formal stop en route, just a pause for drinks and snacks. The pub is ideally suited for drinks and offers a tasty lunch menu. 

Well behaved dogs are welcome.
