This scenic walk follows the tranquil waters of the Great Stour before climbing gently onto Kent’s own National Trail, offering a rich mix of riverside paths and downland scenery.Passing through vineyards, orchards and open meadows, the route showcases the quieter, timeless landscapes of the Stour Valley. With rolling hills, classic Kent countryside, and opportunities to spot local wildlife, this walk offers a rewarding winter escape that blends natural beauty and rural heritage.
