Starting from Bore Place this circular walk leads along farm tracks and bridleways before climbing steadily onto the Greensand Way. The effort is rewarded with breathtaking views across the Weald of Kent from one of the highest ridges in the area with occasional glimpses of Bough Beech Reservoir sparkling in the distance.
From here the route winds through Stubbs Wood home to silver birch sweet chestnut and oak trees. In autumn the woodland comes alive with chestnuts fungi and vibrant foliage. Keep an eye out for woodpeckers wild animal tracks.
The walk continues past the picturesque 14th-century Wickhurst Manor and into the charming village of Sevenoaks Weald before looping back across a patchwork of rolling farmland and quiet fields. You’ll enjoy a delightful mix of shaded woodland trails historic landmarks and open countryside before returning to Bore Place.
This route offers a true taste of Kent’s varied landscapes: farmland woodland history and ridge-top views all in one circular walk.
