📍Tenderden. Parking postcode: TN30 7DD
Parking along Preston Lane, Appledore Road end and enter the public footpath direct off this lane. Following the signs through grazing cattle fields for 1 mile, keeping to the left of the path, you will come to 📍The Secret Pond. I managed to walk around the whole pond but there was no set path and don’t think you’re suppose to do this! Following the path back but keeping to the left following the stream into the woodlands with adorable wooden bridges for around 1 and a half miles where you exit the woodlands back into the animals fields to the parking spot. A lovely short and easy walk with no elevation. There are multiple additional paths to take in the woodlands, this was the best route for me to complete a loop back to the car.
