]]> Sat, 03 Oct 2026 01:00:00 GMT null //localendar.com/elsie?DAM=PublishedEvent&event_id=3341&calendar_id=543902&k=100326&cb=false //localendar.com/elsie?DAM=PublishedEvent&event_id=3341&calendar_id=543902&k=100326&cb=false <![CDATA[Ightham Mote house visit and walk, 9 miles]]> This circular nine-mile walk from Borough Green passes through the woodlands, fields and orchards of the northern Kentish Weald, taking in Ightham Mote, a 14th-century moated manor house owned by the National Trust. The aim is to look around the house and garden, so we will spend around two hours there. For non-NT members the entry fee is £19.

Other highlights include a Cromwellian church at Plaxtol and one of Britain’s biggest Iron Age forts. The terrain is reasonably hilly, including one “very steep” hill – the book from which the walk is taken says it’s for “reasonably fit” walkers. Woodland paths may be muddy after rain. 

Our lunch stop will coincide with the visit to Ightham Mote. The café there serves light lunches, sandwiches and cakes, and can be accessed without paying to enter the house. 

Meet at Borough Green & Wrotham station at 11.15am. Buy a return to Borough Green & Wrotham and take the 10.29 train from Charing Cross, also calling at Waterloo East (10.32) and London Bridge (10.38). Return trains are at 29 and 45 mins past the hour.

Anyone else who missed this one or just fancies a walk on the Downs is welcome to join me.


Either get the 10:04 from St Pancras, change at Ashford and alight at Lenham at 11:09; or the direct 9:55 departure from Victoria and alight at Lenham 11:18. If you’re getting the latter, please e-mail me so I know to wait for you. Either way, we will meet outside the exit from Platform 2.


After a short walk through Lenham and across a field, we will be back on the ridge and the NDW and it’s a simple matter of chasing acorns all the way to Wye. Total distance is a little over 12.5 miles with a climb of 650 feet.


Trains from Wye are only hourly, but there is a pub by the river with a beer garden.


Bring a packed lunch and plenty of water.

About 20 miles, flat terrain, mainly off-road on gravel tracks. Hazel

The library was created around 1613 by Sir John Kedermister at a time when he was paying for a large upgrade of St Mary’s Church in Langley, near Slough. It sits next to his family’s private prayer space in the church, and usually the doors are kept locked. 
 
But once a month from May to October, you can step into their private space and through a small door into an incredibly richly decorated space. 
 
Inside, the honorary librarian, Jane Sculpher, gives a talk on the library’s history, then pulls out some of the treasured books from the collection to show around. 
 
This seems like a special place, so I thought it would be good to take the last opportunity this year to visit.  
 
Meet Iver Station 11 am.
