There is more than meets the eye on a five-mile walk through two Maidstone villages.

Between Linton and Boughton Monchelsea lies a route of landscaped gardens, orchards, oast houses and picturesque views of the the Weald.

Arguably, the most unique part of the trail is a secluded spot to watch deer graze from St Peter's Church, in Church Hill, Boughton Monchelsea.

The route begins at St Mary's Church, in Linton Hill, and heads towards Loddington Farm, past Boughton Monchelsea Place, before returning to the start, ideally near The Bull Inn.

The pub boasts a west-facing garden, with a terrace, which overlooks miles of rural farmland.
