Notes: 

A mainly circular walk in The Weald and around ( not in) Hever Castle grounds. The circular walk before lunch is about 6 miles over undulating terrain and through woodland and meadows.It could of course be muddy if wet, boots recommended. One or two gates/stiles and unfortunately some shortish sections on country roads which will require single file. After lunch we walk along the Eden Valley Way back to Edenbridge Town Station – about 4 miles- passing en route Hever Station where anyone wishing to cut the walk short could catch a train back to London. Anyone choosing to drive could also collect their car at this point, or take a train back to Hever from Edenbridge town
