A Ramblers group with walks of about 4 - 6 miles. We explore the beautiful Kent countryside from within the Tonbridge and Malling area and, occasionally, further afield.
Back by popular demand (?) a fascinating walk following the Medway as it meanders to join the Thames estuary from the little village of Lower Upnor which was a 19th century holiday resort that now has a jumble of chandlers shops, marinas and waterside pubs. The walk climbs through woodland and along the higher ground to Hoo St Werburgh giving commanding views of the estuary. We walk back along the shoreline.
There are several pubs in the area. However the Ship Tavern is unable to provide food on this day as the kitchen is closed for another function. However a room has been reserved at the Kings Arms Upnor for those who would like to eat or drink. This is a twelve minute walk from the car park. Alternatively you can park in Upnor Castle car park near the pub. Menus will be distributed and orders taken at the car park before we start the walk.
Alternatively you could have a picnic beside the river as low tide is 12.53pm and high tide 19.34.
Sailing club car park on Upnor Road . This is the nearest post code but carry on past Arethusa Venture Centre (closed) on your right and shortly after there is a car park sign which you follow to Lower Upnor free Car Park on the left when you see the yacht club in front of you.
