Walk through ancient woodland in Kent

Ahead of so-called ‘Blue Monday’, come for a walk in Kent - hear about its ‘wassailing’ tradition and fill your lungs with loads of gorgeous phytoncides (the natural chemicals emitted by trees that hugely benefit us) in Lullingstone Country Park, which has an internationally important collection of ancient trees.

Once you get your ticket, please click the Whatsapp link in the confirmation and read the joining instructions about where we will meet.

Distance: 14.3km / 8.9 miles
Difficulty rating: Beginner/Improver*
Walking time: 4.5 hours
Pace: Not too fast, with a stop at a cafe for lunch halfway round.
Elevation: 40m – 134m (total ascent 315m - gentle hills).
Accessibility: This walk will be on muddy, unpaved, uneven footpaths with tree roots and some gates/stiles. There will be a fully accessible toilet halfway around.
Kit needed: Sturdy shoes you don't mind getting wet and muddy, waterproof jacket, food and water (at least 1 litre), personal medication, warm clothing, and something to sit on the ground (plastic bag, sit mat etc.).

Any questions or if you are unwaged/a carer/can't afford a ticket, let me know and if there's still space, I'll ping you a free ticket - outtohike@gmail.com

Don't forget to follow @outtohike for info about future walks!

*Beginner/Improver walks are for people who have been on short walks before (walks with friends/family, dog walks, complete beginner walks in a group etc.) but want to try a half day walk that involves walking a little further with a few more gentle hills. Everyone is welcome but it is important that we all go at the same pace, so be prepared to walk slower than usual, especially if you are used to walking longer distances more frequently. The idea is to have a chilled time connecting with nature and enjoying the journey together - not ‘smashing the hike' as fast as possible. Snack breaks and pauses to marvel at nature are encouraged!
