Luddesdown circular walk approx 15 Miles (hilly)

Join us for a 15-mile circular walk starting and finishing in Sole Street, Kent. This scenic route takes us through the charming village of Luddesdown and across the stunning North Downs, with plenty of open countryside, rolling hills, and far-reaching views along the way.

This is a moderately challenging walk with a mix of woodland trails, quiet lanes, and field paths — perfect if you enjoy a good stretch of the legs and some fresh country air. We’ll take a relaxed pace with breaks along the way and stop for lunch (pub or packed lunch) before completing the loop back to Sole Street.

A great opportunity to enjoy the Kent Downs, get some miles in, and meet like-minded walkers.
