Join us for a varied circular hike through the beautiful Kent Downs, starting and finishing in Harrietsham and exploring a mixture of rolling chalk countryside, woodland, farmland and peaceful rural paths.

Leaving Harrietsham, we’ll head north into the countryside, climbing gradually onto the higher ground of the North Downs. Our route takes us through open farmland and along quiet tracks towards Hollingbourne, before continuing north towards the Hucking Estate.

We’ll explore the woodland and chalk grassland around Hucking, including Smokes Wood and Hucking Hill, an attractive area of the Kent Downs with peaceful woodland trails and far-reaching countryside views. From here, we’ll loop east through more open countryside before turning south for the return journey towards Harrietsham.

With 254 m of ascent, this is an undulating walk rather than a particularly hilly one, but at just over 17 km it offers a satisfying full day out. Expect a good mixture of woodland paths, field edges, tracks and rolling downland, with sections likely to become muddy after wet weather.
