In the footsteps of knights

The Medway Crossing

Tonbridge historian, Deborah Cole, has been spending her time recently researching a walk around Tonbridge and beyond, based on routes that were used by knights in the 13th century.

Her new book gives directions for a 33 mile circuit, broken up into manageable stages and contains a series of short circular walks.

Deborah said  'I always thought that Tonbridge should have its own long distance circular walk, and I found that it had one in 1279!'

This is a must for those who enjoy walking in the countryside. Every route has historical notes of interest along the way, and Deborah has thought of everything as each walk passes a pub or cafe.

The book is available at Tonbridge Castle.
