Overview

A varied 12 mile circular walk, incorporating sections of the Tunbridge Wells Circular walk, Eden Valley Walk and Wealdway, passing the impressive Colebrook Viaduct and a number of rivers. The walk is mostly flat, with one climb up to Bidborough Ridge. There will be a lunch stop after 7.25 miles in Tonbridge Town Centre, where there are a number of food and drink options . It may be possible to drop out of the walk at Tonbridge by getting a bus back to the start point or shorten the walk by walking South along the A26. The Imperial pub in Southborough is close by for a post walk drink or even a pizza. There is a reasonable amount of parking at the church but please car share where possible and arrive in plenty of time for us to start walking at 9.45.
