Starting with a step back in time, the Sissinghurst walk is a must for history buffs. This 10-mile trail takes you from Cranbrook through beautiful woods, leading to the historic Sissinghurst Castle. Famous for its stunning gardens designed by Vita Sackville-West, it's a winter wonderland waiting to be discovered.
Next, head to the coast with the 'Zig Zag' Path in Folkestone. Named one of the top places to live by the sea in the UK, Folkestone offers breath-taking sea views. The path winds down the cliff through artificial grottos, offering a unique coastal adventure.
For a shorter walk, the Scotney Castle Parkland Trail is perfect. This two-mile trail near Tunbridge Wells takes you through historic parkland, offering glimpses of the fairy-tale Scotney Castle. After a brisk winter walk, warm up with a hot drink in the Coach House tea room.
For a seaside stroll, Samphire Hoe near Dover offers a 2.4-km circular trail with dramatic coastal views. Home to hundreds of species of birds, plants, and butterflies, it's a haven for wildlife.
Finally, for an unexpected treat, a hidden footpath near Bekesbourne takes you past elephant enclosures. This walk offers stunning views of Howletts Wild Animal Park and the surrounding countryside.
