Like the village of Underriver, the original \n\t\t\t\t\t\tRomschedde was probably settled because it lies where \n\t\t\t\t\t\tthe bottom of the greensand beds meet the Wealden clay \n\t\t\t\t\t\tresulting in a series of springs that ensure a reliable \n\t\t\t\t\t\twater supply. Romshed Farm is an organic farm \n\t\t\t\t\t\tseeking to conserve the traditional landscape of small \n\t\t\t\t\t\tfields, hedgerows and belts of ancient woodland.

Public Transport

Bus service 204 runs from Tonbridge to Underriver \n\t\t\t\t\t\twhere you could start and finish the walk. It is \n\t\t\t\t\t\tinfrequent and does not run at weekends or Wednesdays \n\t\t\t\t\t\tbut if you take the 10:00 bus out and the 13:31 back you \n\t\t\t\t\t\twill have plenty of time for the walk.
