Dog Walk Kent

• Turn right out of the pub and turn immediately left at the crossroads.
• Proceed up the hill to the kissing gate on the bend and pass through the gate continuing up the trail until you reach another kissing gate.
• At this point, if you wish, follow the sign to Thurnham castle on your left.
• If not, pass through the gate following the trail marked North Downs Way. After a slight climb, you will come to yet another kissing gate.
• Pass through and turn right between two fences that lead to another gate.
• Pass through and you will descend down a few steps before coming to the steps made of sleepers (60) leading up.
• At the top follow the trail through the trees until reaching more steps, this time going down.
• You will have a short walk before starting to climb some more steps, this time a mere 52!
• At the summit on the post in front of you, follow the sign North Downs Way to the right. Walk through the trees descending to a lane.
• Turn right here and follow the lane past Fox Farm cottages on your right down to the crossroads.
• Turn right again and follow the lane back to the Black Horse
