Park, Walk and Ride
trails
Tenterden is situated within the beautiful Wealden
countryside with spectacular views and stunning vistas. So, it's not surprising
that the area is extremely popular with local and visiting walkers and
ramblers. To combine two of the area's key assets, Kent and East Sussex Railway
and partners including experienced ramblers, have designed a series of walking
trails and steam train journeys around the area. The trails have been produced
to give walkers easy access to some of the finest walking country in the south
of England.
The six 'Park, Walk and Ride' trails have been designed to
be easy to follow and to be suitable for both experienced and novice walkers.
Routes include a variety of terrain including: waterside, field and woodland
paths, bridleways and quiet country lanes. The length of each walk varies
between two and six miles, and estimated timings are given for each trail,
allowing walkers to decide on a level of difficulty before setting off. The
factsheets also include details of facilities along the walk.
Each of
the six trails has been designed to make the most of the light railway and the
areas surrounding the Kent and East Sussex Railway stations. Each trail has its
own detailed factsheet with a map showing where the trail goes, estimated
timings and information about the terrain along the walk. You can pick up the
free guides from the Kent and East Sussex Railway and from any of its stations
at Tenterden, Rolvenden, Wittersham Road, Northiam and Bodiam.
The 'Railtrails' walking guide
has been developed by the Kent and East Sussex Railway, in conjunction with the
Tenterden Town and Rural Partnership as part of the Tenterden Improved Project,
to offer advice and highlight places of interest en route. The Tenterden
Improved Project has received funding from the South East of England
Development Agency, through the Channel Corridor Partnership, Kent Rural Towns
programme and other partners. |
