On Sunday 28th September, we're heading out on a 7.5-mile guided circular walk from Headcorn to Frittenden and back – and you're invited.This is a great chance to enjoy the open countryside, follow quiet paths, and take in the gentle beauty of early autumn in Kent. Along the way, we’ll pause for views, chat as we go, and take our time exploring the route.
We’ll start and finish in Headcorn, walking at a steady, relaxed pace. The walk is guided, so you can simply enjoy the journey – no map reading needed. We’d love to have you along—just bring your walking shoes and your sense of adventure!
A little about where we’re walking:
Headcorn is a charming Kentish village with medieval roots, once a key stop for drovers and traders on the route to Canterbury. It’s known for its historic timber-framed buildings and peaceful rural atmosphere.
Frittenden is a small, picturesque village surrounded by orchards and fields, with history dating back to the Domesday Book. It’s long been a place for quiet reflection and country views – perfect for a halfway pause.
