A historical walk from Bluebell Hill to Wouldham
Details
On the 29th of November we will be strolling from Blue Bell Hill to Wouldham and back again. The walk will start at the Blue Bell Hill car park. From here we will make our way along the North Downs Way and down into the Medway valley through the villages of Wouldham and Burham.
We will make our way through forests, fields and stroll past historic houses and sites of Roman temples. Along the way you will hear tales of people who were with Nelson when he died, the battle that Britain lost to a foreign invader and a ghastly murder.
