Tonbridge to Haysden

This delightful route is found in the Walks for All series and is mainly flat along a tarmac path with hard surfaces around the lake. The walk is also very convenient for visitors taking advantage of the train.

Leaving the motte and bailey of Tonbridge Castle behind, the path follows through light woodland. Small streams and picturesque ponds to open out alongside Barden Lake – a popular spot with bird and wildlife enthusiasts, as well as families throughout the year.

There are plenty of resting points to sit and enjoy the antics of the wildfowl on the lake.

This area has been designated as a Site of Nature Conservation Interest.

Haysden Country Park also offers good facilities including toilets with disabled access and a children’s play area.
