SWC Free Walks 151/152, Lenham to Ashford.1/7/12
Another 'two-for-the-price-of-one' here as the walker combines two 'Greensand Way' walks into one of around 15.5 miles. Starting out from Lenham station, there's a fair bit of road walking initially, albeit on a quiet road, but the walker soon reaches Boughton Malherbe and The Greensand Way. This provides for some delightful walking through 'Darling Buds' scenery of orchards and meadows right through to Pluckley (duplicating some of the 'Pluckley Circular' walk) and beyond. The path is joined by The Stour Valley Walk shortly after Little Chart before arriving at the 'New Forestesque' Hothfield Common; there's even wild ponies to add to the resemblance.
At Great Chart, the walker leaves The Greensand Way to follow The Stour Valley Walk through urban Ashford and on to its station.
A lovely walk along one of this walker's favourite paths, The Greensand Way. The beginning and ending of the walk are quite hard on the joints, but the rest of the walk more than compensates!

Battle of Hastings 1066 Site - Battle, England, United Kingdom
On October 14, 1066, the armies of Duke William II of Normandy (William the Conqueror) and Anglo-Saxon King Harold II met on a field about seven miles northwest of Hastings. The Normans won a decisive victory in what became known as the Battle of Hastings. Harold was killed in this battle, paving the way for the Norman's conquest of England.
After the conquest, William founded a monastery at the battle site. The abbey church was completed in 1094. The church's high altar was situated at the site where tradition holds that Harold was killed. The church was destroyed with the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and the land and surviving buildings went into private ownership.
Today, the Battle of Hastings battlefield and Battle Abbey grounds are an English Heritage Site. Visitors can tour the battlefield grounds and explore a number of the ancient abbey's buildings. However the abbey's Great Hall is now home to Battle Abbey School and is generally off limits to the public.
The village of Battle grew up around the abbey. It is directly accessed by train, making for a nice day trip from London.

U12A2894 - The high altar of the Abbey Church was located at what is traditionally regarded as the site where Anglo-Saxon King Harold II was killed; the death of Harold all but assured the Norman's conquest of England
Leeds Castle and Gardens Schloß Wasserschloss, Kent England UK
Leeds Castle is in Kent, England, 5 miles (8 km) southeast of Maidstone. A castle has been on the site since 1119. In the 13th century it came into the hands of King Edward I, for whom it became a favourite residence; in the 16th century, Henry VIII used it as a dwelling for his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. The castle today dates mostly from the 19th century and is built on islands in a lake formed by the River Len to the east of the village of Leeds. It has been open to the public since 1976.
The last private owner of the castle was the Hon. Olive, Lady Baillie, daughter of Almeric Paget, 1st Baron Queenborough and his first wife, Pauline Payne Whitney, an American heiress. Lady Baillie bought the castle in 1926
Das Wasserschloss Leeds Castle liegt etwa sechs Kilometer südöstlich von Maidstone und damit mitten im Herzen der englischen Grafschaft Kent. Das Schloss und seine Ländereien wurden nach dem kleinen Dorf Leeds benannt, an das sie angrenzen.
Leeds Castle fand bereits im Domesday Book Wilhelms des Eroberers, dem englischen Reichsgrundbuch, Erwähnung. Es wurde im Laufe der Jahrhunderte nach und nach genutzt als normannische Festung, als Wohnsitz von sechs mittelalterlichen Königinnen, als Palast Heinrichs VIII. und als Zufluchtsort für die Reichen und Mächtigen. In den über 1000 Jahren seines Bestehens hat das Schloss viele Kämpfe überstanden, mächtige Staatsmänner beherbergt und zahlreiche Künstler inspiriert.
