Despite being called ‘Gardener’s Delight in Sissinghurst’, this walk actually starts and ends in Frittenden and only briefly calls at Sissinghurst Castle. This is the longest of the walks so far at five miles, but it was a flat walk for the most part, with only a slight incline up to the castle. It was a glorious day though and my sunburnt neck bears testament to that. This walk is heavy on the stiles – and some were very high… not ideal for the short-legged walker.
Some of the nosiest cows ever can be found just outside Frittenden. They just wanted to follow us all the way. Cute.
As I mentioned this was the most uphill part – not horrendous but in the heat was quite draining.
There is always something appealing about a Danger sign.
Frittenden has the cutest village shop, but be warned, it shuts between 12.30pm and 2pm. No ice cream for us today.
In summary: another great walk. Five miles is a nice distance to wander and the location is very nice. One for the cow lovers amongst you.
