From Sole Street, the Wealdway continues past the Railway Inn. After 200yds (183m), turn left on a rough track (not through the gate into Camer Park). The track leads up on to Henley Down, the first of the chalk hills of the North Downs, where, beyond a copse, there is a sudden broad view over the
Luddesdown valley. The Wealdway is now well way marked down to the hamlet of Luddesdown, which is a tiny but delightful group of buildings. Luddesdown Court (not, alas, open to the public) dates back, at least, to the 13th century and is said to be one of the oldest continuously lived-in houses in the country.

Beyond the church, walk between farm buildings and turn left on a good path for over a mile (1.6km) along the valley known as the Bowling Alley. At a road, turn right, immediately forking right again to pass Great Buckland Farm. A fork left here, off-route and another 0.25 miles (400m) along the valley, leads to the tiny church at Dode (now privately owned), parts of which are Norman. From Great Buckland, the Wealdway climbs steadily, overgrown in places, soon to run beside and then through Luxon Wood. After a short stretch of muddy bridleway, the route crosses a paddock to a road. Turn left and, where the road veers right, go ahead over a stile and shortly left over a second stile. Turn right to walk through two meadows and between barns to White Horse Road. 

Turn right a few yards before going left through Whitehorse Wood. After 0.75 miles (1.2km), the path veers right and drops steeply down the North Downs escarpment. The spectacular view from the edge is partly obscured by foliage, but there are several good vantage points beside the path, providing
tantalizing glimpses of a spectacular Wealden panorama. At the bottom of the hill, turn right. For a few yards, the Wealdway shares a track with both the North Downs Way and the much more ancient Pilgrim’s Way, running between the important religious cities of Winchester and Canterbury.

The route of the Wealdway heads south (left) into the Weald, with more good views along the way. After 600yds (545m), you will pass Coldrum Long Barrow, the remains of a Neolithic tomb. When it was opened in 1910, 22 skeletons were found, dating from about 3,000BC. Continue southwards on a concrete drive, forking left into Ryarsh Wood and on across fields to a road. Turn right and after 350yds, go left beside a sand quarry and under the M20. Immediately beyond the road tunnel, turn sharply right up a bank and along a path, beside the motorway fence at first. 

At Westfields Farm, turn left along a drive and, shortly, right on a woodland path. At the next lane, turn right. After 0.5 miles (800m), just beyond a large house on the right, turn right on a clear path, cross a minor road and continue ahead to reach the A20 at Wrotham Heath.
