Take extra care when crossing or walking along country lanes. Keep to the right-hand side to face oncoming traffic, and walk in single file. Use a grass verge wherever possible.

Crops and animals are a farmer’s livelihood and should be left undisturbed. Sheep and cattle will be found grazing on a number of these walks, so please keep dogs under control at all times. Farmers have a right to shoot any dogs found worrying livestock.

Using this guide

For the purposes of this book, Kent has been divided into two sections – West Kent and the Weald, and North and East Kent – with the M20 corridor effectively carrying the line of division (see the Overview Map).

Maps

Within the main body of this guide, sections of the Ordnance Survey map relevant to each walk described are taken from the 1:50,000 series (1in = 1 mile), which should be adequate to provide an overview of the route. However, greater detail and a wider perspective may be gained from consultation with the Explorer series of maps published at a scale of 1:25,000 (2½in = 1 mile). The recommended sheet for each walk is noted in the panel at the head of that walk’s description.
