Great walking (and refuelling) in Wye this winter


Wye village not only offers some stunning walks but also great places to refuel along the way. Here, we take a three-hour ramble over four miles through heart of this popular spot on foot…


Look across the Downs and see an enviable winter wonderland of enchanting landscape stretch out before you.


The Wye Downs is one of Kent’s top spots for a winter walk, with a chance to see the Wye Crown and breath- taking views across the Devils Kneading Trough and beyond. Wye village is well worth exploring and draws visitors from miles around.


There are a number of quality Kentish pubs to eat at including the Wife of Bath and the Tickled Trout which will provide a wonderful venue for a walk lunch. Heading from the Coldharbour Lane car park, pass through the kissing gates opposite, following a grass pathway, looking around you, you’ll see the beauty of the winter trees adorning the landscape, their branch formations looking particularly pretty on frosty days.


A little further on, you’ll head through a gate. Follow the way markers which will wind down the steep hillside. Continue following the grassy path as you make your way along this steep section of the Wye Downs, the landscape is truly phenomenal round here, and you’ll be in good company. This popular route is enjoyed by many walkers. Another kissing gate brings you out to a road, turn right here following the road a short distance to a stile on your left. Heading across open fields, follow the way markers which will take you to a wide track towards two stiles to a road. Proceed along the stony track which will bring you out into a delightful country lane. Continue along the lane enjoying the views of open pastures until you reach a fingerpost. Heading into Wye village, head towards the church. The church in Wye, St Gregory’s and St Martin’s was


originally a large cruciform church. Major post war external restoration took place in 1950 and since then many internal fittings have been changed including the removal of the church organ to the east end of the north aisle. Whilst in Wye take the time to explore the quaint streets with several places to eat, drink and even stay. There are some independent shops to look around as well as public toilets. It’s a great place to break your walk and continue onwards refreshed.
