The Wealdway
The Wealdway is an exceptionally fine walk running 82
miles from Gravesend on the Thames Estuary to Beachy
Head and Eastbourne on the south coast. It crosses
the North Downs, the Greensand ridge, the Medway valley
(twice), the High Weald (including Ashdown Forest), the
Low Weald and the South Downs.
This is quintessential English countryside with
rolling downs, archetypal village greens on which
cricket has been played for centuries, deep wooded
valleys and traditional pubs. History abounds with
numerous furnace and hammer ponds reminding us of the
iron industry that characterised the Weald in the times
of the Tudors and Stuarts and many fine old houses
constructed of materials that vary along the route with
the underlying geology. Despite its proximity to
many towns and with London not far away, much of the
route has a surprisingly remote feel to it.
The book offers a full description of the route,
newly-drawn maps at 1:25,000 scale, background
information on geology, history and landscape evolution
and numerous illustrations, all in full-colour.
The cover price is £8.00 but we are currently
offering copies for £7.50 to include postage and
packing. Or for even better value, buy a bundle –
