Come along and enjoy this gorgeous walk from Penshurst to Chiddingstone (and back again)! 

If you are feeling festive we could stop for a coffee and mince pie at the lovely Tulip Tree cafe (they also do a very good bacon sarnie)!

This route heads out towards Chiddingstone from Penshurst.  The terrain is mostly tracks and small roads, with some sections of footpath.  It's suitable for all as the terrain is good for those who want a fairly easy walk, but there is a chance to up the pace for those who want more of a workout.

The nearest toilets are on the Penshurst Estate (at the Porcupine Cafe) and at the Tulip Tree cafe in Chiddingstone.

The walk is approximately 4.5 miles but I have allowed time for a short coffee and mince pie stop!

MODERATE Walks - walks might involve hills and we walk at a pace of around 3-3.5miles per hour.

A great way to start the week is with an Active Mondays walk in and around Stanmore. Get ready for the weekend with a stimulating Saturday morning walk around Stanmore Country park. Or join us on a Sunday morning for a longer, faster paced walk in Ruislip Woods.These are intermediate walks, lasting one hour and will include some hill work. For those new to the area you`ll be surprised at the fantastic views over London that you get from Wood Farm Viewpoint, the hidden lakes in PearsWood and Bentley Priory and the seemigly endless trails through woods which change with the seasons.

Walkabout Wednesdays give the opportunity to travel a little further into neighbouring boroughs, or out along the Metropolitan line into the Chess Valley. Saturdays we`re always in the Stanmore Country Park, but we never tire of it as there are such a variety of trails to explore. 

COVID Safety Steps

Facial coverings are recommended to protect yourself when passing others. I may wear a face covering at the start of walks and carry gloves to open gates for you to go through. Throughout the walk we will maintain social distancing as best we can at all times.

NB we will not be hirning poles during the current pandemic to prevent transmission of the virus.
