The Wealdway

The Wealdway is an exceptionally fine walk running 82 miles from Gravesend on the Thames Estuary to Beachy Head and Eastbourne on the south coast.  It crosses the North Downs, the Greensand ridge, the Medway valley (twice), the High Weald (including Ashdown Forest), the Low Weald and the South Downs.

This is quintessential English countryside with rolling downs, archetypal village greens on which cricket has been played for centuries, deep wooded valleys and traditional pubs.  History abounds with numerous furnace and hammer ponds reminding us of the iron industry that characterised the Weald in the times of the Tudors and Stuarts and many fine old houses constructed of materials that vary along the route with the underlying geology.  Despite its proximity to many towns and with London not far away, much of the route has a surprisingly remote feel to it.

The book offers a full description of the route, newly-drawn maps at 1:25,000 scale, background information on geology, history and landscape evolution and numerous illustrations, all in full-colour.

The cover price is £8.00 but we are currently offering copies for £7.50 including postage and packing.  For better value still, try our Superbundle – see top right of page – every publication on this page for just £15.50.

The Tunbridge Wells Circular Walk and other walks in the Tunbridge Wells area

The Tunbridge Wells Circular Walk is a 28.5 mile ring through the fine countryside around the town with four routes joining various points on the ring to transport services in or linked to the town centre.

The town trail is a 3.2 mile allows the walker to appreciate the fine architecture and historical connections of Tunbridge Wells's many attractive buildings.

Three River Valley Walks: Darent Valley Path, Eden Valley Walk and Medway Valley Walk

There had been no guides in print for these fine walks for many years when in September 2018 we published this 80 page book, which covers them all.  It offers full-colour maps at 1:25,000 scale, detailed directions, descriptions of points of interest and background information about geology, landscape and buildings.

The Darent Valley Path starts alternatively at Sevenoaks Station or Chipstead and finishes on the bank of the Thames just north of Dartford.

The Eden Valley Walk starts a few miles south west of Edenbridge and finishes at Tonbridge Castle.

The Medway Valley Walk starts near Tonbridge Castle and finishes at Rochester, passing through Maidstone on the way.

The cover price is £7.50 and we are currently offering copies for this price to include postage and packing.  For better value still, try our Superbundle – see top right of page – every publication on this page for just £15.50.

Kent Coast Path: Part 1: Camber to Ramsgate

This 80 page guide covers the first section of the England Coast Path to be opened in Kent.  Ramblers' volunteers have been labouring for years both to get the path open and to prepare what we hope is the best guide possible to the pleasures and interest of the route.  The path was formally opened on 19 July 2016.

This guide is in full colour with detailed 1:25,000 maps based on Ordnance Survey data and enhanced by the local knowledge of the authors and others in Kent Ramblers.  There are full descriptions of the route and of the many points of interest that you will pass along the way.

There is also much background material about the history, geology and geography of the area.

The cover price is £7.50 and we are currently offering copies for this price to include postage and packing.  For better value still, try our Superbundle – see top right of page – every publication on this page for just £15.50.

10 Favourite Walks in the Kent Countryside

This is our own book of ten walks in Kent.  24 pages including cover.

There are walks all over the county of lengths from 3 to 11 miles. Each walk is described in detail with a full-colour map and points of interest are identified.

As this book is now over ten years old and is not completely up to date, we are no longer offering it for sale.  However, we still have copies which we will be pleased to supply free of charge to those purchasing other products on the understanding that on some routes there may have been changes since the book was written.  Although the book itself is free, there is a charge of 90p to cover additional post and packing except that when ordering either the £15.50 Superbundle or the £13.00 Superbundle there is no additional charge.  If you wish to take advantage of this offer, please say so when making your other purchase(s).
