The Lost Village of Dode + Trig Point - Guided Group Walk 10.5km / 6 miles - MJ Outdoor AdventuresRoute Details:
We begin our journey at Holly Hill, a wooded area known for its beautiful vistas out to London on a clear day. The hill is also home to a trig point, one of the many triangulation pillars scattered across the UK, originally used by the Ordnance Survey to map the country. These points offer a fascinating glimpse into the history of cartography and navigation and a nice hidden trig to bag.From Holly Hill, we’ll follow the Wealdway, a long-distance footpath that stretches 83 miles from Gravesend to Eastbourne. We will pass through the Lost Village of Dode, a hidden gem steeped in mystery. Dode was once a thriving medieval village, but it was abandoned after the Black Death in the 14th century. Today, only the church remains, standing as a haunting reminder of the village that once was. The church has been restored and is now used for weddings and events, but the surrounding area still retains an eerie, timeless quality.
We will make our way back via the North Downs Way, a National Trail that follows the ancient Pilgrims’ Way from Farnham to Dover. This path offers stunning views over the Kent countryside and is a great way to end our walk on a high note.

We run our Women’s wellness walks for every stage of life. We meet as a group of women to connect and be outside in nature. Aimed at anyone at any stage in life – with full support for all stages of the menopause.
This walk isn’t just about the scenery; it’s about the bond between women and the empowerment found in community, friendships and being outside. Studies show that spending time outdoors boosts mood, reduces stress, and promotes overall well-being. What better way to experience these benefits than by coming together in a supportive and uplifting environment?
Walk leader: For anyone who doesn’t know my personal situation I went through a medical menopause in my 20’s , I have since had a long and never ending list of symptoms which has lead me to being trained in the menopause. I have included on both medical and retail panels to discuss the mental and physical impact the menopause can have. These walks allow a safe space to talk openly if you wish. - Tenterden “Jewel of the Weald” Guided Group Walk – 6.5mile / 10kmTenterden High Street, Tenterden
