The Routes
What’s not to like about a good walk in some of the best countryside Kent has to offer?
The Great Southern Walk (15 miles)
Hilly, scenic, 4–5 hrs. Includes Medal
Route #1
Route #2
The first Annual GREAT SOUTHERN WALK takes place on Sunday 14th September starting and finishing in Thanington, Canterbury. The route is 15 miles (24 km) – taking you high on the Downs with long views of valleys, churches and castles; into the depth of the woods, into hidden valleys with remote hamlets and beside the waters of the River Stour. Most of the route lies within the Kent Downs AONB (Area of Outstanding Beauty). It’s a stunning walk we can assure you.
Family Walk (5 miles)
Meadows, flat path. Includes medal.
We also have a second shorter walk of 5 miles which is less of a challenge, more of a quiet family walk through meadows and the Stour, up Tonford Lane, through orchards and a quiet road to Toddlers cove where it rejoins the path for the return.
Volunteering
It takes a community to walk for change — and an even stronger one to help run it.
