🏰 THE SCOTNEY LOOP: LEGENDS, LANDSCAPES & LOST TAVERNS✨ A Quick Intro
On Sunday, 7th September 2025, we’ll be strolling from the delightful village of Lamberhurst through fields and forests to Scotney Castle. The walk begins at The Broadway Car Park next to the Chequers Pub. There's additional parking at the now-closed George and Dragon Pub, just a short walk away.
We’ll wander through orchards, open countryside, and explore routes around the scenic Scotney Castle estate (without entering the property), enjoying wonderful views of the National Trust site.
Expect tales of mystery and history:
👻 A ghostly witch
🏰 A castle that isn’t quite a castle
🐘 And whispers of a hidden elephant graveyard...
