Walk directions

From the parish church in Lenham walk across the churchyard and squeeze through a kissing gate. Take the path ahead along the left-hand field-edge, cross a footbridge in the corner and walk across the farmyard to a gate. Maintain direction over the field to a gate, and continue to a stile and plank bridge. Keep ahead to cross a further stile and pass through three gates to reach East Lenham. Turn right along the farm track.

Cross the railway bridge and climb a stile on the left, just beyond a fork with a gravel track at double gates. In a few paces, cross two stiles on the right and bear diagonally left across the field, keeping right of the farm buildings. Cross another stile and maintain direction, passing through a gateway in the field corner to cross the stile ahead. Turn left along the field-edge and climb the second stile on the left, then walk across the field to cross a stile to the right of Mount Castle Farm.
