The Tudor Trail (Sustrans route 12)
The Tudor Trail runs mainly off-road between Penshurst Place and the Motte & Bailey castle in Tonbridge . This stunning cycle route passes through the scenic Penshurst Estate, heads on along the Medway river, around the lakes at Haysden Country park, and on to the playing fields at Tonbridge before reaching the castle. A great family day out, the route is mainly off-road with a short stretch on a quiet lane before reaching Haysden Country Park.
Type of route: Mainly off-road cycle and walking path
Suitability: All ages and family
Difficulty: Easy. Mainly flat but one steep hill just outside Penshurst. Off road (bar small stretch on a quiet lane near Haysden Country park). Reasonable surface along the whole route but can get muddy after heavy rain on the stretch just past the road to Leigh.
