Bapchild Weekday Evening Walk Sports

bapchild_weekday_evening_walk


Join us for a relaxed and sociable evening walk through Kent’s peaceful countryside.

Starting from Bapchild Village Hall, this 6.34-mile circular route takes in blooming orchards, open farmland, and the historic charm of Lynsted and Rodmersham before looping back to Bapchild.
We’ll be walking at a relaxed pace with time to pause, chat, and take in the scenery. Suitable footwear is recommended, and a small torch can be handy during the darker months. This is a friendly, welcoming walk—ideal for regular walkers and newcomers alike.

🗺️ Route Highlights
We begin in the ancient village of Bapchild, once part of the Roman Watling Street. From the village hall, the route heads east into open countryside, quickly leaving the roadside behind as we enter Kent’s iconic apple orchards and farmland.
The trail leads us to Lynsted, one of Kent’s most picturesque villages, with its 13th-century church, flint cottages, and traditional green—an ideal spot to enjoy a little local history.
From there, we head north across peaceful countryside to Rodmersham, full of rural charm with its timber-framed houses and timeless village green. A perfect place to pause and take in the slower pace of village life.
The final stretch loops us back through soft meadows and more orchard-lined paths, arriving in Bapchild as the evening light begins to fade. A scenic and varied walk with a touch of history, nature, and local character.
