# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Walmer 12.5 mile walk
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 01 Mar, 2026 at 09:30 am – Sun, 01 Mar, 2026 at 02:30 pm
- **Event Description**: This is change to the originally scheduled and advertised walk at Wye, which will now take place at the end of July.

Escaping the heavy going of recent weeks through mud and flooded paths, we now venture to the coast at Walmer for a 12.5 mile walk, where the going underfoot will be good. The terrain is a mix of mostly tarmac, tracks and firm grass paths around historic Walmer, Deal and Sandwich Bay, and as it virtually flat throughout the pace should be good, with little or no mud to slow us down.

We begin by circumnavigating Walmer Castle, which was built in 1540 and is the home to the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, before we explore some of the local landmarks as we proceed towards, then through neighbouring Deal. We will pass the former Royal Marines School of Music Barracks, then continue on our merry way to reach the site of Sandown Castle, but very little now remains of this fortress.

Heading slightly inland we proceed along across the 'Ancient Highway' through the edge of Royal Cinque Ports Golf Course, which twice hosted the Open Golf Championship in 1909 & 1920. Another famous course on the current Open Championship rota is Royal St George's, which we cross to reach Sandwich Bay. Once we reach the shoreline we turn right along the Saxon Shore way and make our way back towards Deal and eventually back to our starting point.

There will be the usual picnic lunch stop en route and ample pubs to choose from for the group to mingle in during the latter stages of the walk. This includes the excellent Royal Hotel, which the group visited previously back in March 2024.

Starting point - We will meet at Borrow Pit car park, which is in Kingsdown Road, Walmer, close to Walmer Castle, near the junction of Granville Road. This is the larger of the two car parks, If you park in the small one nearer the castle, you've gone wrong!
