Harrietsham 12.5 mile walk
Advertisement
This is a walk of approximately 12.5 miles from Harrietsham, that enjoys the wonderful countryside and views as we head above the North Downs Way to explore the Hucking Estate.
We make our way initially to Hollingbourne, to then have a steady ascent after leaving the North Downs Way (NDW), we pass above Eden's Hole and then into the Woodland Trust owned Hucking Estate, before eventually reaching the village of Hucking. We will most likely have our usual short picnic lunch stop at the church.
Continuing in a northwards direction, when close to Swanton Court our route then heads through the Wormshill & Bredgar Light Railway. As we descend, there are fine views to be had at various vantage points along the way.
After returning to the NDW, progress is straight forward to complete this delightful but energetic hike, however we can enjoy a pit stop at the Dirty Habit, which reopened earlier in the year.
Dogs welcome, but on a short lead when required.
Difficulty: Moderate
Ascent: 1020ft
Starting point - Harrietsham Railway Station, with parking outside station, fee payable if parked in marked bays.
