Led Walk - Lenham to Hollingbourne on the North Downs Way National Trail, Wednesday 11th September 2024.

Walkers gaze at a large white chalk cross on the green hillside

Come and enjoy a 6 mile ramble from Lenham to Hollingbourne. We will start at Lenham station and visit the historic village centre on our way to join the North Downs Way at the chalk cross.

 

As we walk along the North Downs Way you will hear about the ecology of the area, some of the farming techniques, its history, pilgrimages and fauna and flora of the trail.

 

With breaks to meet Percy the Pilgrim, take in the views, and some refreshment, the trail will descend arriving at Hollingbourne station where our walk will end.

 

 

Here we can take the opportunity to sample the delights of our newly refurbished ticket office, which was closed for 32yrs prior to its transformation into a community hub and impressive café in Jan 2024. Lenham station is 2 stops back along the Kent Downs Line from Hollingbourne station.

 

Please wear suitable footwear for uneven terrain and bring snacks, drinks and essential medications.  

Assistance dogs and dogs on leads welcome. 

Suitable for ages 12+ but under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.
