Matfield Circular – 7.1 miles

  For today’s adventure we returned to one of our old favourites, the Matfield circular. This would be our fourth (we think) lap of this particular route, having been one of the very first we did together, and this may have been the best one yet! As far as we could recall, this would beContinue reading “Matfield Circular – 7.1 miles”

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. We set off from the village hall car park, which presented us withContinue reading “Mountfield Circular – 7.3 miles”

Hartfield Circular – 6.9 miles

  For this weekend’s walk, we made a return to Hartfield, and our first repeat walk since starting our blog back in 2023. We last did this route a little over a year ago, and on our first visit, were very taken with it indeed. We set off from the free car park at aboutContinue reading “Hartfield Circular – 6.9 miles”

Wadhurst Circular – 6.8 miles

  Spring has turned slightly more seasonal in the last few days, in as much as the clear blue skies have turned a little greyer, with a spattering of rain putting an end to the unusually dry and hot conditions for early spring.  There was also a very real promise of more rain on theContinue reading “Wadhurst Circular – 6.8 miles”

Bodiam Castle Circular – 5 miles

  Before we start, I would like to talk about spring, and why it is our favourite of all the seasons.  There are of course the obvious reasons, which we have spent the past few weeks gushing over.  The arrival of lambs in our fields, the glow of the bluebells amongst the woodland floor, theContinue reading “Bodiam Castle Circular – 5 miles”

Bewl Water – 12.5 miles

  It’s fair to say that we are generally fair-weather walkers.  Given that we live more-or-less within an hour of 99% of our walks, we’re not shy of hunkering down on the less pleasant days and letting the rains pass before venturing out the following week.  Why then, did we find ourselves parking up atContinue reading “Bewl Water – 12.5 miles”

Rolvenden to Tenterden Circular – 7.8 miles

  Another Sunday rolled around and we got up, ate our chocolate porridge, and headed out the door for the day’s wanderings.  Jumping in the car, we drove off confidently in the direction of Bodiam Castle.  However, this plan, which had been made days in advance (go us) was disrupted somewhat, when Beth checked theirContinue reading “Rolvenden to Tenterden Circular – 7.8 miles”

Hartfield Circular – 6.9 miles

  Spring, it’s finally here, our favourite walking season – blue skies and new life.  Only a week since our last walk, yet somehow it felt much more than that.  The day looked promisingly clear as we headed out a little later than normal, selecting an all-new route, 45 minutes away.  Hartfield, just on theContinue reading “Hartfield Circular – 6.9 miles”
