Edenbridge & Lingfield Walking Map

The countryside around Edenbridge, Lingfield, Haxted, and nearby villages such as Marsh Green, Pootings, Blindley Heath, and Newchapel offers varied and accessible walking opportunities through the gentle landscapes of the Kent-Surrey border. The area is rich in footpaths, including stretches of the Eden Valley Walk and access to the Vanguard Way, which passes nearby. These trails guide walkers through meadows, ancient woodlands, and along the tranquil River Eden, ideal for peaceful river walks with views of weeping willows, traditional mills, and wildlife. The undulating terrain provides gentle hill walks and open views across the High Weald National Landscape (formerly AONB), known for its wooded ridges and patchwork fields.

Wildlife enthusiasts will find plenty to see on a visit to the British Wildlife Centre at Newchapel. Historic interest is woven into the walking routes here – Haxted Mill adds cultural richness to local walks. The region retains traces of railway heritage, with the Bluebell Railway operating nearby and several historic stations, including Edenbridge Town. The local rivers and ponds contribute to a tranquil, water-rich walking experience. With historic churches, timber-framed buildings, and leafy lanes linking scattered hamlets, the area offers a perfect blend of rural charm and easy walking access.
