Are you looking for a challenging hike? If so, this hilly circular walk in Kent is for you! When I enrolled myself for a 26 miles (42 km) hike marathon, I knew I needed to level up my game in terms of training. That’s how I came across this walk organised by Outdooraholics. When I saw it, I straight away signed up for it and it is one of the hardest hikes I have done near London. Are you ready for the challenge?

Margate to Ramsgate via Broadstairs walk: The Viking Trail
Should we walk from Margate to Ramsgate or from Ramsgate to Margate? Whichever way you want to do this walk, it is one of the most popular hikes on the South Coast and a MUST-DO! I did it twice, once in each direction, and there is no better route. While Ramsgate is much prettier, the food was better in Margate … so it’s all about what you prefer! For the purpose of this post, I will be doing the walk from Margate to Ramsgate.

Otford to Eynsford: A Perfect Sunday Walk
Looking for a nice morning walk ending with a traditional Sunday roast? I’ve got you covered with a walk from Otford to Eynsford in Kent. We are back in Otford in the North Downs but this time we are going up to the Darent Valley. It is another walk ending in a pub for a Sunday roast, so read all the way to the end: you do not want to miss the best bit.

Otford to Oxted: Another North Downs Walk
Let’s take you on another North Downs walk from Otford, where we ended the last walk, to Oxted. I would advise you to do the walk that way and finish in Oxted as you will find more pubs and restaurants there for a rewarding drink and meal at the end! I know last time I advised you to end at Otford for drinks and food but that was in comparison to Cuxton where there are very few places. This time, your best option is Oxted, where we end this walk with a nice traditional pub meal.

Cuxton to Otford Walk: The North Downs
Let’s go back to the North Downs with its endless golden fields and evergreen woodlands for a walk from Cuxton to Otford. This walk was part of a training programme with one of my friends for our trip to the Lake District and Scafell Pike ascension – which did not go as planned, but that is a story for another time.

Sole Street Circular: A Walk In Kent
Back in September, one of my friends who live in Kent organised a circular walk from Sole Street ending in a pub for a traditional Sunday roast. No need to go far for a walk in the countryside: Kent is right on London’s doorstep and offers a variety of walks from a stroll to something more challenging.
