Overview

This 5.5 mile circular walk starting from the Poacher and Partridge near Tonbridge is flat and easy going but maybe muddy in places. It takes you deep into the garden of England before returning you back to the pub via the river. Amongst the sights we will be visiting the site of a tragic accident at Hartlake bridge  as well as WW2 pillboxes and Porters lock.
