Tunbridge Wells Circular Walk
This walk, previously known as the High Weald Walk (not to be
confused with the High Weald Landscape
Trail), is a 27.5 mile route that
encircles Tunbridge Wells with four link routes into the town itself
allowing the walk to be done as four very long circular walks.
The walk, officially opened on 27 June 1994 at Groombridge Place, was created by the
Kent High
Weald Partnership (not to be confused with the High Weald AONB), a
partnership between Kent County Council, Tunbridge Wells Borough Council
and the Countryside Commission (since merged into Natural England) in
conjunction with the East Sussex Countryside Management Service.
Much of the practical work was undertaken by volunteers including
members of the Ramblers.
The walk takes in much open countryside and passes through a number
of attractive villages such as Speldhurst, Groombridge, Frant and
Pembury.
