Overview

 

From Southborough Common we head north through the suburbs and down Beechy Toll.  Then it's around Haysden Water and along the Eden Valley Walk to Penshurst.  Lunch is either at the Leicester Arms or a picnic around Penshurst church.  About 6 miles, mostly flat after Beechy Toll - ascent of 120 feet/35 metres.

In the afternoon, we cross the Eden and the Medway (twice) on the way to Poundsbridge.  Then mostly gentle climbing until we reach the Tunbridge Wells Circular Walk.  We follow it for a while before Southborough and go by Holden House and up to the start point.  About 5 miles with 350 feet/105 metres of ascent.
