📕ABOUT:
Join us for a beautiful High Weald adventure weaving through classic English woodland and rolling countryside. We’ll enjoy big nature vibes and plenty of “wow” moments as we pass Harrison’s Rocks and Eridge Rocks: dramatic sandstone outcrops that are perfect for photo stops. The route then threads through a patchwork of gorgeous woods (including High Wood, Chase Wood, Whitehill Wood, Forge Wood, Broadwater Warren, Birchden Wood, and Friesland Wood) before ending back to Tunbridge Wells.

RSVP only if you plan to attend. Please cancel as early as possible if you can no longer make it so others can join. A no-show means you RSVPed but did not attend or cancelled just before or after the start time. Repeated no-shows or late cancellations without a valid reason may lead to removal. Reliable regulars who end up on a waitlist may message the host for priority consideration.
