About the event
Our final walk of 2025 will be in the beautiful countryside between West Peckham and Shipbourne. It will begin at 10am on Tuesday 25th November on the Common at Shipbourne (opposite the tennis courts), about 20 minutes’ drive from Mereworth. There is plenty of free parking on the roadside. We shall walk down to Back Lane, along its wide grass verge, then across the fields to the woods of Hoad Common and Dene Park. Following the wide straight woodland footpath to Puttenden Road, we shall pass by a house with a giraffe in the garden before cutting across Clearhedges Wood to the fields alongside the River Bourne. After a brief stroll along Hampton’s Road we shall pass the fish farm and head towards the Kentish Rifleman pub. Resisting its temptations we shall then head west towards Fairlawne Home Farm before emerging onto Shipbourne Common. The walk will take about two hours…
