The Wealdway Walk Guide

10 Favourite Walks in the Kent Countryside

We have published a book of ten walks in Kent at the price of £2.50 including postage. The walks are right across the county and of lengths from 3 to 11 miles. Each walk is described in detail with a full-colour map and points of interest are identified.

The walks are:

  • Penshurst and Blowers Hill (4.9 miles)

  • Fordcombe and Avery’s Wood (5.3 miles)

  • Devil’s Kneading Trough and Crundale Church (6.7 miles)

  • Chilham and Perry Wood (10 miles)

  • Kemsing (3 miles)

  • Scotney Castle and Bewl Water (9 miles)

  • Cranbrook and Goudhurst (10.8 miles)

  • Dryhill Nature Reserve and Whitley Forest (4 miles)

  • Ightham Mote, Godden Green and Stone Street (5.6 miles)

  • Emmetts Garden and French Street (5 miles)

All profits go to support our efforts to protect and enhance the footpath network and promote the interests of all walkers in Kent.

Wealdway Guide

The Wealdway is a long-distance path pioneered by Kent and Sussex Ramblers in cooperation with Kent and East Sussex County Councils.  It is an exceptionally fine walk running from Eastbourne on the south coast to Gravesend in the north, passing through the South Downs, the High Weald, Ashdown Forest and the North Downs.

The Wealdway Guide was published in 1999 and is now out of print.  But we still have a few copies of this lavishly illustrated guide available for £3.50 including postage.  The guide is in two parts - a 72 page Travel Guide describing the geology, ecology and history of the terrain and a 50 page Walk Guide with large scale Ordnance Survey route maps and more detailed descriptions of points of interest.  This book really is outstanding value.

Stocks of the Wealdway Guide are now extremely low - please email for further information before sending any money.
