The Chilham Chill

A scenic, circular walk that takes in the historic Tudor village of Chilham; Godmersham Park which has associations with Jane Austen; and the village of Sole Street which has a quirky pub for refreshments just after half way. This woodland, pasture and lane route is hilly in places (especially before our picnic lunch stop) but rewards us with many beautiful views along the way. It’s suitable for well-behaved dogs, on lead around livestock and some quiet road sections.
Please gather at 09:45 for a prompt start at 10am and bring a picnic lunch for midway. There are public toilets in the large free carpark at the start/end of the walk and we plan to stop for drinks and loos after 6 miles. Stout walking boots are advisable for muddy conditions and rutted tracks.
