We are the Bromley Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
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.
The walk is largely in open countryside with frequent good views. Risk of mud in some places. Beechy Toll is a steep descent and may be muddy - poles might be a good idea.
Park by Southborough Church, either in the spaces in Church Road or at the side of the church. Church Road is just off the A26 as you come into Southborough from the A21.
