For the final winter walk of the season, we chose a (mostly) new route, starting from the familiar Matfield green, right on the northern edge of the High Weald. However, as we already have an established route out of the village, we will be referring to this as the ‘Brenchley circular’ – the otherContinue reading “Brenchley Circular – 7.7 miles”

Crowborough Circular – 8.5 miles
It’s fair to say that the starting point for the day’s adventure, Crowborough Station, was very possibly our least desirable to date. The town is much, much larger than most of the villages we base our walks around, and came with all of the wonders of the modern world; smashed glass, industrial estates andContinue reading “Crowborough Circular – 8.5 miles”
Eridge Circular – 5.5 miles
It was a fine, blue skyed, bright winter’s day, as we put on our boots to undertake a new route for our Sunday adventure. We set off late, at about quarter past midday, and the walk began from Eridge Sation. We have started routes from stations on several occasions now, but this one wasContinue reading “Eridge Circular – 5.5 miles”
Saxonbury Hill Circular – 7 miles
Today we returned to a route we had done once before, and one we had intentionally saved for winter. This was due to the amount of road walking this particular route included (a significant amount) and thought that perhaps whilst the paths were at their muddiest would be a good opportunity to go forContinue reading “Saxonbury Hill Circular – 7 miles”
Ticehurst Circular – 6 miles
Here we are, 2025; a big year for us! And whilst we have a lot on the horizon to look forward to, we will be sure to still get the miles beneath our boots. We opened the year’s account one particularly frosty morning, with a six-mile route from Ticehurst to Bewl Water, and backContinue reading “Ticehurst Circular – 6 miles”
Kipling Country Circular – 5 miles
The Winter season is upon us! We begin with a new route, starting from the free car park along Burwash High Street in East Sussex. The original route calls for a clockwise direction, however thanks to certain lunch plans, we had decided to go against the grain. We set off just before middayContinue reading “Kipling Country Circular – 5 miles”
Battle Circular – 4.5 miles
As we enter November, we finally returned to the High Weald for the first time in several weeks, this time heading to its southern end, the town of Battle. We also sent off much later than we have been recently, leaving the train station car park at twenty to twelve. This was sort ofContinue reading “Battle Circular – 4.5 miles”
Robertsbridge Circular – 5 miles
We’re back! Here we go for round two, our second year of blogging, excited to do it all over again. What adventures will the footpaths lead us on across the coming seasons? Time will tell. We kicked off our sophomore year with a nice and easy fiver-miler heading out of Robertsbridge deepContinue reading “Robertsbridge Circular – 5 miles”
Horsmonden to Goudhurst Circular – 8.5 miles
Here we are, another summer coming to an end. It’s been a busy one and despite the damp start, one we have certainly made the most of. To round it off in a somewhat poetic way, today we are heading over to Horsmonden, the location of our very first summer walk all those weeksContinue reading “Horsmonden to Goudhurst Circular – 8.5 miles”
Cranbrook to Benenden Circular – 9.5 miles
We woke to a blue sky out the window, light pouring in from a day that promised to reach soaring temperatures. After a quick spicy-fried egg bagel for breakfast, we pegged the washing out before leaving, and already we could feel the heat of the day creeping in…were we making a mistake? WeContinue reading “Cranbrook to Benenden Circular – 9.5 miles”
