WALK 15

Hever Castle and two Tudor queens

Distance: 5 miles

Map: OS sheet 188

Start and Parking: The walk starts from the church at Chiddingstone (grid ref: 501452). Chiddingstone is on a minor road one mile south of Bough Beech, which is itself on the B2027 between Limpfield and Tonbridge. There is limited parking in the village of Chiddingstone. As an alternative, the walk could be started from Hever.

Refreshments: Public house and tearooms in Chiddingstone and a public house in Hever.

Walks Through History: Kent is a celebration of the beauty and poetry of the county. Each walk in this book has been chosen not only because it is a pleasant walk in its own right, but also because it goes past sites which reveal the rich and varied history of the county.

Each walk is arranged chronologically, and has a major historical theme. Together they take the walker through 4,000 years of Kentish history. The introduction shows how each of the walks fits into the overall history of the county, a history that is very much shaped by Kents proximity to Europe. For through migration, trade and invasion, Kent has had close contact with the continent throughout its history. As with all walking books detailed directions are given, including parking convenient stopping or resting places, and suggested diversions or alternatives.

The book is sure to appeal to locals and tourist alike.
