We offer walks in London and Home Counties, accessible by public transport.
A pretty walk from East Malling down to the River Medway at Nettlestead, then along the Medway Valley by river and hillside paths to East Farleigh. Gentle hills alternate with flat riverside paths, offering a pleasing mix of woods, orchards and fields opening up to sweeping views of the river and valley sides. Brief stop at Nettlestead to view medieval glass in church. Relatively easy walking, but moderate pace and a longish morning. Be prepared for mud. Possible drop out at Wateringbury before lunch. (SWC 337)

Lunch: Lunch, pub (Tickled Trout) or picnic at West Farleigh. Best to bring picnic and use pub for drinks.
