This is the Between Downs & Weald ride from Jack Thurston's lovely cycling book Lost Lanes. It's a rolling ride in quiet countryside with a chance to see a 1000 year old yew tree and Chiddingstone Castle and village. There are short stretches on B roads but otherwise it is all quiet country lanes. It is moderately hilly, especially the final stretch.

Our lunch/cafe stop will be at the Tulip Tea Rooms in Chiddingstone. Or bring a packed lunch. Please bring a lock for your bike, as well as snacks and plenty of water.
