Two Great Trails = One Cream Tea
A Quick IntroJoin us on Sunday, 15 February 2026 for a guided walk from the historic village of Chilham to Chartham, linking two of Kent’s most celebrated long-distance routes — the Stour Valley Trail and the North Downs Way.This scenic journey follows the tranquil waters of the Great Stour before climbing gently onto Kent’s own National Trail, blending peaceful riverside paths with classic downland scenery.Passing through vineyards, orchards, and open meadows, the route showcases the quieter, timeless landscapes of the Stour Valley. With rolling hills, traditional Kent countryside, and chances to spot local wildlife, this walk offers a rewarding winter escape — finishing with a well‑earned cream tea at the Church Mouse in Chartham .The Details
