Overview

The Wealdway is an 82 mile walk from Gravesend to Eastbourne which crosses the North Downs, the Greensands Ridge and the South Downs, showing the changing landscape from the Thames to the English Channel.

In this first stage, we walk from Gravesend Station to Sole St Station. This short Wealdway section has been extended to pass the Town Pier, Gordon Parade and the Pocahontas Memorial in Gravesend and to go through the picturesque village of Cobham.

Please bring a packed lunch.

The finish time is an estimate only and dependent on a number of factors such as the size and speed of the group, weather and footpath conditions and the number of breaks taken.
