Colin S's Tonbridge - Hildenborough Walk with Pubs Circular (ca. 8m)

A walk to indulge 2 of my favourite pastimes!

We start by walking ca. 3 miles via Tonbridge School playing fields to the community run Half Moon at Hildenborough.  After a well earned first drink (optional excellent cafe also available very nearby) we head back towards Tonbridge for our next stop at The Never Say Never (formerly the Hilden Manor) after another ca 1.5 miles.  We then head into the countryside to The Plough near Powder Mills after another ca. 1.5 miles.  Finally we head along the WealdWay to our final stop the Nelson Arms (current West Kent Camra Branch Pub of the Year - very well deserved in my opinion!) in the Barden Park area of Tonbridge after a further ca. 2 miles, where the official walk ends.  (The walk back to Tonbridge station is a very easy self-guided ca. 0.5 miles along roads).

We will have a short picnic stop en route - and food is also available at the Nelson Arms after the walk.
