We are the West Kent Walking Group. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

We head Northeast from the Church passing Danehill Lodge, Lambs Farm, through Chelwood Gate and into Ashdown Forest. Heading through heathland and around Chelwood Vachery we enter the Forest Garden via the gorge and follow the stream down to the four ponds.
The Forest Garden was created shortly before 1910 by Sir Stuart Samuel as part of the Chelwood Vachery estate. The four ponds each with a weir and sluice, were built at this time. It now forms part of Ashdown Forest.
We head to Chelwood Corner where we leave the forest. Heading South we pass Chelwood Farm, Perryman's Hill and reach Heaven Farm (after 7.3miles) for a picnic lunch. Drinks, Ice cream and toilets are available. After lunch we then head Westwards along the Sussex Diamond Way, then Northwards to Danehill.
Optional Drink in the Coach and Horses Chelwood Common.
