Overview

This is a circular clockwise walk from the village, eastwards through orchards, heading South towards Goudhurst and back, offering some fine open views and some nice old timber houses/barn conversions. The walk is fairly flat and easy, with a handful of stiles and one moderate hill near the end. The Gun and Spitroast pub looks likely to be closed, however post walk coffee and snacks/cake are available at the Heath Stores next door, or The Halfway House (1.2 miles along the road towards Brenchley offers drinks and cooked meals. There wont be any stops during the walk, however there are public toilets adjacent to the village green by the start point.
