Faversham to Macknade to Boughton Walk

Join us on Saturday 2nd May 2026 for a guided countryside walk exploring the rolling farmland and historic villages that sit just beyond Faversham. Starting from Faversham Train Station car park, we soon leave the town behind as we head out past the well-known Macknade Farm Shop and into a patchwork of fields and traditional Kent orchards, which are particularly beautiful at this time of year.

Early May brings fresh greenery across the landscape, with hedgerows coming to life and orchards bursting into colour. The route passes through Boughton Court Farm before continuing through the peaceful grounds of St Peter and St Paul Church in Boughton, a quiet rural setting that reflects the long agricultural history of the village.

We continue across the golf course and into the village of Boughton before following orchard paths that skirt the elegant grounds of Mount Ephraim Gardens. The walk then leads into Herne Hill, where a magnificent old oak tree stands proudly in the village square. Passing through Wey Street Farm and Langdon Court, we eventually arrive in Goodnestone, an area long associated with Kent’s hop-growing heritage, before making our way back across the countryside to Faversham Train Station.
