  • SWC Free walk 173, Cuxton to Snodland. 7/4/13.
    amib, Apr-13

    This is a pleasant 12 miler through some varied Kent countryside. Setting out from the station, the walker is soon walking past Cuxton church and ascending into a local nature reserve. Then, it's on across some undulating farmland, with some great views, before a pleasing woodland section leading to the Darnley Mausoleum in Cobham Park.

    Shortly after, lunch is had in Cobham, with it's choice of hostelries, or church, in this case.

    Thereafter, there's some familiar terrain passing the village of Henley Street and then on past Luddesdown, with its church and organic farm. Here the walker joins the Wealdway, which is followed to Great Buckland. Then, it's a decent section of woodland walking before descending to views of the semi-industrial Medway River Crossing area and so on to Halling.

    The walk can be finished here, but it's well worth the extra mile to complete the journey in Snodland, particularly if you are able to do the 'main' or 'longer' routes, which this walker didn't, following the 'direct' route instead.
