Benenden to Rolvenden: the High Weald
UPDATE 6 AUGUST: DOGS ARE NO LONGER WELCOME ON THIS WALK AS WE WILL BE CROSSING SEVERAL LARGE FIELDS LIKELY TO CONTAIN CATTLE.
A scenic walk along the High Weald Landscape Trail, linking Rolvenden and Benenden. We'll walk through a typical High Weald landscape of ancient woodland, ridges, fields and sunken lanes, passing farmsteads and oast houses. The high ridges and low valleys made farming a marginal activity and helped to preserve the area's wooded character.
Six stiles, some in poor condition. One steady uphill road section at the end of the walk.
Short break part-way through the walk at Rolvenden churchyard (bring own refreshments).
Non-members are welcome to join this walk as one of their three free 'taster' Ramblers walks. Please contact the walk leader if you haven't walked with us before and would like to come along.
