Our first walk of the 2023 season will start at 10am on Tuesday 28th March at the junction of Gallants Lane and Heath Road, East Farleigh, outside the former Victoria
pub ME15 0LR (about 5 miles drive from Mereworth). We shall cross Heath Road to follow the quiet country lanes of North Folly Road, Foreman’s Barn Road and Barn
Hill before striking off on the Greensand Way to pass Buston Manor, a beautiful complex of Listed Buildings set in the Greensand Ridge. This is the location of the Mereworth Estate office and it is owned by Lord Falmouth. To the west of Buston Manor, taking in the splendid views over the Weald of Kent, we shall take an ancient sunken lane up the hill to Shingle Barn Lane. From there we shall go via Fox Pitt and its curious collection of old buildings towards the former White House pub. Crossing the lane to go through a woodland path we shall cross Heath Road to Castle Farm and Roses Farm along a path that gives spectacular views of the Medway Gap. We shall return to our starting point via Gallants Lane. The walk is likely to take two hours at a leisurely pace and could be muddy in one or two places therefore good walking boots are strongly advised.
CREAM TEAS 2023 SEASON
The cream tea season will start on Sunday 2nd July and run throughout July. Please do make a note in your diary and come down and enjoy our delicious cream teas, cakes and savouries in our beautiful church yard setting.
If you would like to help with the running of a cream tea, we are always looking for more volunteers.
