Progress towards triple-checked route options for Marden’s five Slow Ways: 40%
Help connect Marden
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 Marden’s Slow Ways.

Also, the path onwards from near the School towards Paddock Wood is in very poor condition; you get a prize for finding the start [it's a small unmarked door within a large gate] and when you get to a large ditch there's no bridge [photo attached]. My Group had to abandon path walking at that stage and walk along relatively busy roads into Paddock Wood. I've reported the footpath problems to KCC but note that there are uncleared entries back to 2008!...

Walked the route Marden to Paddock Wood the Route is blocked with locked gates through private properties, way markers and access is sketchy in a lot of places....
Mat Young
Not the best walk, a lot of missing way markers and finger posts many of the paths are overgrown there are also trees across the paths. Ploughed fields without the paths being reinstated. In Staplehurst the route directs you down a dead end and indicates a footpath that doesn't exist, i checked on kent Footpaths....
Mat Young
Great walk a few overgrown paths otherwise pretty accesable....
Mat Young
confident walkers but not suitable for wheelers of beginnners and route difficult to follow between Linton and Marden. The second part of the walk from Linton starting at St Nicholas Church on Linton Hill to Marden is more difficult to follow as in mid- summer the paths are starting to get overgrown with brambles and path markings are not particularly clear...
