Wide open views. An off-road route following the Darent Valley Path along the river, then footpaths across rolling fields and through woodland and with some quiet lane walking. A few gentle to slightly steeper climbs; ploughed fields can be hard to follow. Can be muddy after rain. There is a bus service at Hawley; the route can be picked up or left at intermediate points along the Darent Valley Path.
Lunch: A garden centre with a cafe and a bakery lie a short detour south of the route at Hawley.
Warnings: Some lane walking on Canada Farm Road, Rabbits Road and Wilson Lane with no verge; Rabbit Road has blind bends and fast traffic for a single-lane road.
