In partnership with Visit Tunbridge Wells | High Weald Walking Festival 2025
Free guided walk with Boots on Adventures - BOOKING ESSENTIAL

Boots on Adventures is excited to team up with Visit Tunbridge Wells for this year’s High Weald Walking Festival, offering a unique free guided walk that celebrates the rich history and natural beauty of the High Weald National Landscape.

Our journey begins in Cranbrook, the β€œCapital of the Weald.” From the High Street, we’ll venture across rolling fields and ghost traces of Roman roads, winding through one of England’s most treasured historic landscapes.

We'll arrive near the iconic Sissinghurst Castle Garden, once home to writer Vita Sackville-West. While we won’t be entering the main National Trust property, public footpaths offer striking views of the famous tower and glimpses into the estate’s remarkable past.

Throughout the walk, your guide Ben Crozier will share tales that bring the Wealden countryside to life β€” from ghost stories and wartime memories to the bohemian history of Sissinghurst.
