Lamberhurst Loop via Scotney Castle

Moderate 9miles/14.5km circular

A scenic walk around the surrounds of Lamberhurst including a stop for lunch after mile 5 at historic Scotney with a tea (and cake) shop attached. It is advertised as a ruined medieval castle with Victorian mansion, rolling parkland, ancient woodlands and picturesque garden. Romance, drama and nature? That's for you to discover....
There is likely to be some mud in the woods and fields and the route includes some moderate hills.
There are public toilets at the start and finish point behind the village hall as well as at Scotney.

The pace is aimed at 2.5 - 3 mph so you should bear in mind your health and level of fitness when considering this walk.

Dogs are welcome but should be kept on a lead when passing through fields with livestock and on the few country lanes we traverse.

Please note that there is a £2 payment required for non-Ramblers members to help cover our Meetup costs. Please help the walk leader by bringing the exact change.
Members of the Ramblers Association are welcome on any of our walks, but we would still encourage you to RSVP on Meetup. This will give our volunteer walk leaders an idea of how many are attending, and also to keep the numbers manageable. If, on the day of the walk, you are still on the waiting list and a Ramblers member, you can attend just let the walk leader know you are coming by adding a comment 'Coming as a Rambler'. You will find the start location via our website Our Walks (westkentwalkinggroup.org.uk).
