Wandering through this countryside of ours, I am acutely aware of the debt we owe to so many farmers, landowners, private individuals and members of local rambling clubs, who undertake work to improve the quality of our footpaths, help maintain the numerous stiles and gates, and are vigilant in regard to problems of access. I am thankful, too, to the county’s Rights of Way officers and their staff for ensuring that our footpaths are, on the whole, in pretty good condition and reasonably well waymarked, and to readers Steve Edwards and Ian Yarham, who alerted me to route changes to the previous edition of Kent walks. I am grateful as ever to Jonathan Williams at Cicerone for agreeing to this latest edition, and to his talented staff who put the guide together – it’s always a pleasure to work with such a great team. Once again my wife shared the joy of plotting the walks in advance on our well-used maps, and then checked every route with me in all seasons and in all weathers, making this book as much hers as it is mine.
