    Road Maintenance in Your Area Road Surface Improvement B2086 Benenden Road and Cranbrook Road, (Tilsden Lane to Binan Cottage) Cranbrook, Tunbridge Wells When we plan to carry out the work and how long it will take This is to let you know that, as part of the on-going maintenance and improvement of the highway network, Kent County Council will be working to improve the road surface of Chequers Road, Goudhurst between the junctions of A262 Cranbrook Road and North Road. These surface treatment works will start on Wednesday 10th May and should take 2 days to complete, with working hours between 7am and 7pm. This type of work can be affected by bad weather, so if it is not possible for us to carry it out at this time, we will arrange a new date and let you know via a letter drop to your home. We will also put up signs along the road before we start showing the date we plan to start work. During these essential works it will be necessary to close the road completely so that we can carry out the works safely for both the workforce and road users. The diversion route will be via Benenden Road, Swattenden Lane, A229 Hartley Road, Angley Road, Willesley Pound roundabout, A262 Sissinghurst Road, The Street, Chapel Lane, Golford Road, New Pond Road, and B2086 Cranbrook Road (And vice versa) What we plan to do We are going to use a product called ‘Micro-Asphalt’ to improve the road surface. Micro-Asphalt is quick to apply, which means less disruption to road users, residents, local businesses and the emergency services.

    Benenden Walk 10.7 Miles (17.2Kms) Allow 5.5 Hours

    Benenden Walk 10.7 miles (17.2kms) allow 5.5 hours ime h T ug ro T lk a W A Benenden Walk distance 10.7 miles (17.2kms) allow 5.5 hours This 10-mile circular walk around the village of Benenden shows the western part of Kent at its best. The route follows the established High Weald Landscape Trail through small fields, orchards and woodland. There are superb views over the Weald from St George’s Church, Benenden, and the footpath leading back to Cranbrook. The full route takes in the parkland that makes up the grounds of Benenden School, and the ancient culvert at Strawberry Wood, crossing the Roman Road below Stream Farm and the site of an original Roman ford, capturing the historic features and rural character of Kent’s High Weald perfectly. A History of Benenden South of Cranbrook is the picturesque village of Benenden, which prospered from the 14th century as an important centre of the Wealden iron and cloth industries. Before that, the name indicates that it was one of the dens, or woodland clearings, common in this area of the Weald, where Saxon farmers drove their domestic pig herds from the north and south downs every autumn to feed on the fallen acorns, chestnuts and beechnuts that littered the forest floor - a practice that was known as pannage. The trackways they established from driving their animals to the forest and back again all ran north-south and developed into the roads in use today. The clearings were originally owned by parishes settled earlier in the open lands of the north and south, who wanted to use the forest resources.
