🌿 Discover Etchinghill on foot…

One of the lovely things about living in and around Etchinghill is having beautiful countryside right on our doorstep.

Did you know? The North Downs Way runs right through our little corner of Etchinghill and then finish with the Gatekeeper as the perfect place to stop after a good walk, there’s nothing better than heading back to the pub for a well-earned drink and something good to eat. 🍺🍽️

The North Downs Way offers some wonderful walks through the Kent countryside, with beautiful views across the Downs and towards the coast . 🥾
