Join us to explore the hidden treasures of Eden Valley, stepping back in ancient times while soaking in the rich green hues of this picturesque landscape!
Trip Highlights:
• Discover the picturesque Eden Valley
• Pass the Medieval Manor House Penshurst Place - a hunting lodge of King Henry VIII
• Visit one of Kent’s most attractive villages - Chiddingstone - famed for its architecture, ghost stories and use as a filming location
• Hike along the banks of the rivers Eden and Medway in the High Weald area - considered one of the best surviving medieval landscapes in Northern Europe
• Visit the buzzing Tonbridge - a market town from the Middle Ages
• Pass the 11th century Tonbridge Castle - a great example of motte and bailey gatehouse beside the River Medway
We embark upon a journey through time past ancient woodlands, tranquil rivers and remarkable historical buildings. These divine landscapes with their rolling hills, grassy fields and deciduous woods are keepers of many medieval houses and castles that can be traced back to the 11th century. Starting from Tonbridge, where many of Jane Austen's family houses are located, we hike through the countryside to pass the hunting lodge of King Henry VIII and reach Chiddingstone - a Tudor one street village. We pass by Leigh and end the hike back in Tonbridge with a view of the motte and bailey Tonbridge castle.
