On this walk we will be strolling in the footsteps of some heavenly Saints and some rather dastardly Sinners. Starting outside of Canterbury West Train Station we will make our way through the historic City of Canterbury stopping in at four excellent pubs where you will be able to sample a wide selection of real ale, craft beer, wine and gin (drinks not included in the price). We will finish our walk back at Canterbury West. Along the way you will hear tales of pubs past and present. This walk will also include tales of the various heroes and heretics that have made their way through the streets under the shadow of the cathedral. Including tales of when a Plum Pudding started a riot, how a guidebook nearly levelled a city and how one woman’s marriage changed the history of religion in Britain amongst many others.

Join us on Saturday 10th October for a guided walk as part of the White Cliffs Walking Festival, exploring the fascinating contrast between East Kent’s industrial heritage and its beautiful countryside. Starting from The Square in Aylesham, this eight-mile circular walk follows well-maintained footpaths through former mining landscapes before climbing onto one of the most scenic sections of the North Downs Way.
Leaving Aylesham behind, the route traces the area’s rich coal mining history before opening out into rolling countryside. Along the way we pass through the peaceful hamlet of Womenswold and the picturesque village of Adisham, enjoying far-reaching views across the Kent Downs and the changing colours of the autumn landscape.
With gently undulating terrain and a relaxed, sociable pace, this walk is ideal for those who enjoy discovering local history while experiencing one of Kent’s finest National Trails.

Looking for something a little different this autumn?
Join Boots On Adventures and Go Ape at Leeds Castle for a unique afternoon combining axe throwing, medieval history and an open-fire feast in the stunning surroundings of Leeds Castle.

The afternoon will begin with guests splitting into two groups. One group will take part in an exciting axe-throwing experience with Go Ape, while the other joins Boots On Adventures for a fascinating 1½–2 hour historical walk led by Ben. The groups will then swap, meaning everyone gets to experience both activities.

After the activities, we'll gather together around the fire for a hearty medieval-inspired feast, cooked outdoors in Dutch ovens over an open fire and served in rustic bread trenchers.

Guests can choose between:
🥩 Beef & Ale Stew – slow-cooked with beef, onions, carrots and herbs.
🌱 Vegan Vegetable Stew – a hearty plant-based stew packed with vegetables, beans and herbs.

We'll finish with warm cinnamon baked apples before bringing the afternoon to a close at around 6pm.
