Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of King's Hill’s Slow Ways.

Nice walking through the well kept paths of Kings Hill though after crossing the bypass the route ceased to exist - the footpath through the field is no longer accessible. In winter and after rain this route (if it was available) would be very muddy, and not advisable for most users.

I walked this in 2 sections in May, first from Maidstone to Northpole Road, Barming Heath in a couple of hours. Road walking through Barming Heath to Northpole Road. Second part of walk from Northpole Road goes past converted Water tower then left through Oaken wood on good wide path with variable surface including stone chippings. Note there are some road sections and road crossing needed....
