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 Tonbridge’s Slow Ways.

This is a very pleasant walk, with a good variety of woodland, waterways, lakes, gentle hills, and nice views. It's a longer walk, and Edenbridge and Tonbridge have shops for refreshments, but there are only a few good spots for rest should you need it - Hever, Penshurst, Haysden Water, for example....

Walk this routeLovely walk although slightly muddy so be ready for that But other than that route was perfect Recommended...

A wonderful walk that was spoiled by long stretch of uncomfortable non-pavemented, relatively high traffic road walking, the main road between Hever and Edenbridge. On the day I chose to divert quite quickly and tried the Eden Valley Walk again, plus then a shortcut footpath between Lydens Lane and Hever Rd. From Hever take a footpath going south from the church, then quiet Rectory Lane, left onto Uckfield Lane for 100m and join EdeCow 2 on quiet Hever Lane. Using the Eden Valley Walk would add <100m and be off road immediately. Most of this route follows the Eden Valley Walk and for a few miles the Wealdway too. Road walking between Hever and Edenbridge as above...

Nice walk, pretty direct but the road walking near Mount Farm is unpavemented, high hedged and has quite tight turns. Left the village then into some meadows with small woodlands, probably a local nature reserve or similar, very. The path continuing around the meadows is far more well used so could be distracting....

too much busy road used in Tonbridge, was loud and tiring....

We walked from Tonbridge to Sevenoaks and enjoyed stopping at Knole Park cafe for some bean stew and massive chunks of bread....

Flat and sometimes muddy but ok in boots except short bit through orchard tractor churn, north of Five Oak Green, where it nearly came over!...

Walk this routeI came off the route early at Hilden Ave (Hildenborough) and walked the main road into Tonbridge because the light was going. I reckon from Hildenborough to Tonbridge High St is used a lot, e.g. There is a traffic island quite near but hidden by a slight bend head east, it's just past Farm Lane. I took a slightly different route to the end point inside Tonbridge, first along Hawden Rd and then following cycle and foot signs for the castle and station Went to a park, past the swimming pool, around the castle then beside the river I did walk down the high street last time and it does look good for restaurants, past the castle your choice is mainly takeaways....

If you end at Tonbridge, Fuggles Beer Cafe is a great place for relaxed drinks, with a huge range of drinks (alcoholic and alcohol free). - Near Tonbridge, crossing the B245 (London Road) feels fairly treacherous. Speeding vehicles, no protected crossing within sight!...
