🥾 Hike Description
Our journey begins in the historic village of Meopham, reputedly the longest village in England, stretching for 11km with two medieval greens. From the northern end we pass one of these greens before delving into a landscape of rolling chalk downland, with its patchwork of pastures, hedgerows and ancient woodland.
At the southern end of Meopham we pause at the second green to admire Killick’s Windmill, a rare 19th-century smock mill, and to take in the traditional village atmosphere — perhaps even a cricket match on the green. (Michael Gambon, of Dumbledore fame, also lived here.)
From here our route leads into quiet North Downs valleys, where wildlife thrives and chalk grasslands give way to pockets of shady woodland. The trail takes us through the charming old town of Cobham, rich in heritage, before we enter Camer Park, a former estate with sweeping meadows and centuries-old trees.
Our hike concludes in the hamlet of Sole Street, after a day immersed in the timeless Kent countryside of meadows, woods and historic villages.
