Overview

Come and join us for a fun 12-mile walk from Tunbridge Wells!

We’ll set off from The Common and walk west through Nevill Park, Bulls Hollow, and Toad Rock on our way to Rusthall Village. From there, we’ll loop past Langton Green, Ashurst Place, and Ashurst Manor, reaching Stone Cross.

We’ll stop for lunch with beautiful views across the Medway Valley and the Kent–Sussex border. Then it’s back to Tunbridge Wells via Burrswood and Groombridge Place.

And who knows — if we’re lucky, we might even spot Santa at the Spa Valley Railway, where The Polar Express will be running!
