🏞️ Eden Valley Trail: Edenbridge to Tonbridge
📝 A relaxing riverside adventure through fields, woodlands, and storybook villages — with a medal waiting at the end!
Join Boots on Adventures for a beautiful day walk through the Eden Valley, following the River Eden from Edenbridge to Tonbridge. This fully guided route blends peaceful countryside, charming villages, and a hint of history — all at a pace that suits the group.
We’ll begin in the quiet town of Edenbridge, setting off alongside the gentle curves of the river. This is a walk made for slowing down — think big skies, wildflowers in the hedgerows, birds overhead, and timeless views across open fields.
Along the way, we’ll pass by the historic grandeur of Penshurst Place, skirt woodland edges, and meander through quiet lanes and orchards as we make our way east. The trail is well-marked and mostly flat, making it a great option for walkers looking to stretch their legs without racing the clock.
We’ll take breaks depending on the group’s needs, stopping when and where it makes sense — whether it’s a peaceful spot by the river, a shady tree, or a quiet village bench. This walk is about enjoying the journey, not rushing the miles.
We finish at Tonbridge Castle (visit not included), a fitting end to our riverside adventure — and a place to celebrate completing the route.
✨ Every participant who completes the trail will receive a special Boots on Adventures medal — a keepsake to mark your day out in this hidden corner of Kent and completing this long-distance trail.
⏰ The walk starts promptly on time. If you’re running a bit behind schedule, give us a call to inform us.
