Overview

This varied walk takes us past the medieval motte and bailey Tonbridge Castle. Through low-lying areas of parkland, farm fields, paddocks, orchards and rivers. Walking along parts of the Medway Valley, Weald Way and Tunbridge Wells Circular around Tonbridge.  This includes the chance to visit the unique All Saints' Church, Tudley. This Church is remarkable because its twelve stained glass windows were all designed by the great 20 C Russian artist, Marc Chagall. We will be spending time in this Church and have a guided tour (subject to confirmation). There is a donation of £3 either cash or card to pay towards the upkeep of the Church.

No drop outs due to infrequent bus service.
