Overview

PLEASE NOTE CHANGES TO TIME AND MEETING POINT since first published!

A short and gentle ramble through the Weald of Kent. 

We start at Sissinghurst Castle with a walk around the lakes before heading north to Frittenden. This is a level walk through open pastures and quiet country lanes with mud, sheep and rickety stiles as our only challenges. We will stop briefly in St Mary's churchyard for snacks, before returning to Sissinghurst where the tea room offers a wide range of refreshments.
