Mark Cross Circular – 8.9 miles

  I don’t know why we hadn’t done this route before. It’s been available to us for years, on the same website as several of our regular walks. It’s through our favourite area and is a great distance, but for some reason, we had always shied away from it. Not matter, whatever the reason was,Continue reading “Mark Cross Circular – 8.9 miles”

Mountfield Circular – 7.3 miles

  With mid-spring in full swing, Sunday morning came around to present us with our next adventure. This time we would be heading toward the southern end of the Weald, for another new route heading out of the small village of Mountfield.

Wadhurst Park – 6 miles

Cowden circular – 5.4 miles

  Here we go again for another spring adventure, this time heading a little south from last week.  Beginning at Cowden station we turned left up the road into a cool, slightly overcast day.  The start of the walk is a short sharp wake-up call to the leg muscles, before turning right onto leveller ground. Continue reading “Cowden circular – 5.4 miles”

Ightham Mote to Knole Park circular – 8.5 miles

  Midspring is upon us – the lambs are frolicking, the leaves are bursting from their buds and the woodlands are awash with colour.  The latter of these is exactly what today’s walk is all about, specifically perhaps the most iconic British spring flower of all – bluebells.   The circular route between National TrustContinue reading “Ightham Mote to Knole Park circular – 8.5 miles”
