  • Hever to Tonbridge. 22/6/23
    amib, Jun-23

    An update of a walk last undertaken in 2010, but filmed on the mobile phone, so an update was required.

    This was undertaken on a warm, mainly sunny day, with a light NW breeze. A variant avoiding Chiddingstone, but extending to Tonbridge (via SWC 235 GPX track) made for around 10.5 miles.

    The walk is one of classic Wealden terrain, minus the mud today; rivers, ponds, woods, undulating hills, lovely churches, a stately home and a castle.

    In by-passing, Chiddingstone, lunch was had at St John The Baptist church, Penshurst, around half-way in, or there are other options nearby.

    The extension to Tonbridge, following the Eden Valley Walk, is well worth doing as it follows a wooded, abandoned canal route to Haysden Water and Country park. It then joins the Wealdway, briefly, for the finale into town.

    A very good walk, with good paths today. The only negative was the accompanying jet-noise for around two-thirds of it.

  • Kent Countryside walk via National Trust Chiddingstone & Hever ()
    When Adventure Knox, Jun-21

    As lockdown rules relaxed, Andy and I met up with our friend Beck to go for a long, Kent countryside walk - starting in Hever and ending in Leigh. During this Kent walk, we passed Hever Castle, where Anne Boleyn courted Henry VII, walked through Chiddingstone village, an impressive Tudor village, with a half-timbered house or two, mostly owned and managed by the National Trust (The church, school and Chiddingstone Castle aside). After more hiking through the English countryside, we arrived into Penshurst with a magnificent entry - under a medieval house! Penshurst Place, built in the 1th century, was easier to view than the earlier Hever Castle. This is one of several hiking England travel vlogs - many of which are in the South East of England and can be done as day trips from London, so if you've enjoyed this video, please do check out my other ones too.
