If you like hills, this is a fabulous walk across the ridge of the Elham Valley, but first you have to climb up to the ridge! It’s a challenge but worth it for the views. We had an exciting encounter with a field of young bullocks before a drinks/tea bread stop at the pretty St… Continue reading Elham Valley Ridge

Wild Garlic at Goodnestone Park
Malcolm led the leisurely walk around the Goodnestone Park estate, starting at The historic Church of the Holy Cross, passing the main House before taking a drinks break beside the almost derelict ice house.

The bluebells of Kings’ Wood are so spectacular it’s worth the 4 mile walk from Challock Village Hall that leads up to the beautiful purple splendour, then wander through the trail of beech woodland carpeted with… Continue reading Bluebells at Kings’ Wood
Rambling in the Drizzle
On 15th April, 18 walkers rambled 11 miles through Wye and Eastwell, including the Manor, on a drizzly Wednesday. Regardless, it was a lovely walk through magnificent landscapes and a picnic lunch at the church.
Sandwich Circular
Sandwich was the destination on 8th April for the leisurely walk, a 7 mile circuit from the fire station via the beach and golf course, with Ruth leading a 17-strong group. And on the warmest day of the year so far, it was a most enjoyable morning!
Saltwood to Lympne
On 8th April, Sue led the long walkers from Saltwood through Lympne where they admired the topiary and sculptures at the castle and enjoyed some of the animals they encountered over the 9 mile ramble.
