Check website for details
You can start the walk at any time from 10.00 onwards, from either Chilham, Godmersham, Boughton Aluph (All Saints), Challock or Molash churches.
The well-marked paths link these churches in a clockwise circular 16 mile route following footpaths, bridleways, country lanes and private paths made available by special permission of the land-owners.
The route is in the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and it passes through some of the most scenic countryside in East Kent for all to enjoy, and with millions of bluebells in flower and the cuckoo calling you can be sure of a lovely day. You can choose to complete the whole circuit or any part of it, and start and finish at any of the five churches.
This will be the thirty third annual sponsored walk, held in aid of the five participating churches, the Kent Air Ambulance and/or the Pilgrims Hospices. The funds raised are distributed according to your wishes. Those without sponsors are also more than welcome and are asked to make a minimum donation of £5 each. Each church also offers delicious home-made refreshments (and loos) while you take a welcome break.
