Walking Circular country in Groombridge

↔9.88 mi ↗+659 ft ↘-633 ft ◔5h 05 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Wealden (East Sussex)
Unspoilt nature, country and forest footpaths in all directions, stile gates and turnstiles, a little tarmac to connect them, a very scattered settlement, streams and rather wet areas: this is what the hike mainly consists of.The English countryside is home to many architectural treasures, such as stone churches with square bell towers, typical farms with pointed cones topped with a white turret, castles and huge estates combining (former) farms and dwellings.At the end, the walk takes a small section of the old railway line that connected Groombridge to Hartfield and Crawley. Transformed into a cycle path called Forest Way, this route is the British equivalent of the Belgian RAVeL or the French Voie Verte, with the advantage of not yet (2025) having been concreted or asphalted.

↔7.44 mi ↗+620 ft ↘-630 ft ◔4h 00 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Shipbourne (Kent)
A circular route offering a mix of scenic contrasts and adventure. The outward leg includes a rewarding climb to a short but highly rated stretch of the Greensand Way, where you’ll be treated to spectacular views from the Greensand Ridge, looking out across the Weald of Kent and even into East Sussex on a clear day. Just over halfway round, a strategically placed pub stop offers the perfect break. The return leg brings you back through peaceful, picturesque countryside—typical of the farmed landscapes of the Kentish Weald—with plenty of open space and rural charm. A short detour to Ightham Mote, a beautifully preserved 14th-century moated manor house (National Trust), adds a splash of history to the route. Even a brief look may tempt you back for a full visit another time. Shipbourne is an ideal start and end point, with ample parking and excellent food and drink at The Chaser Inn, which serves meals all day on weekends—perfect for a relaxed post-walk lunch or early dinner.

This is a circular walk but is described in two sections, so you can choose to just walk to or from the Little Brown Jug, rather than doing the whole loop.
