Kent’s finest landscapes - villages, historic estates, Oast houses and deer

Join us for a wonderfully varied winter walk through some of Kent’s most beautiful countryside. In the (hopefully!) clear mid-October air, we’ll pass through quiet orchards, gentle rolling hills and peaceful woodland, visiting distinctive historic estates along the way. The route follows winding streams, takes in traditional villages and offers far-reaching winter views, as well as two historic buildings set in contrasting landscapes. We’ll finish in magnificent Knole Park, where we may spot wild deer, before ending the day with an optional, well-earned drink by a log fire in a recently refurbished local pub.
