A return to 'Darling Buds of May' country, after 16 years, with this 9.8 miler (the shorter extension) around Pluckley, Kent. Undertaken on a very breezy afternoon (though commentary isn't too badly affected), with sunny intervals. The initial walking is on the level, across fields, but never exceeds 341 feet. There's oasts, the former hamlet where H.E Bates lived, orchards, quiet lanes and Dering windows, named after the family that owned the land in this area until 1928. Lunch was had at the heritage church in Pluckley, St Nicholas's. A pub option is available nearby. Good paths today, but with small reminders of what to expect after rain. There was one locked gate blocking the way. Little has changed during the ensuing 16 years, thankfully. A very pleasant trip down Memory Lane

TOCW2 Walk 21 Pluckley Circular. 30.07.2017 ♫ The Distraction Fit - July Sun
A short walk of around 7 miles (extendable to 11, as here) through 'Darling Bud Country'. H.E Bates, who wrote the 'Darling Buds of May', lived in Little Chart Forstal, a lovely hamlet passed on this Low Weald walk. A very easy stroll, as it's mainly flat, but with some great views from the 'perfick' village of Pluckley.
