Embark on a scenic 8.4 kilometre guided walk (2.5 hours) along the historic Pilgrims' Way, culminating in a guided wine tasting at Westwell. From Westwell Vineyard, we'll head to Westwell Downs and follow woodland trails towards Charing. We'll stop by an old windmill before rejoining the Pilgrims Way, passing fields and farmlands down narrow country roads before arriving back at Westwell for a glass of wine and snacks.
Dogs are welcome, but there will be a stretch on a busy main road which may not be suitable for all dogs - there is a pavement, but please be aware that there is likely to be some fast moving traffic.
Accessibility: There will be a few gates to pass through but no stiles and suitable footwear should be worn especially if it's been raining as the path will be muddy.
