  • 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.

This is a diverse zone of transition and typical of the High Weald landscape. The strong yet diverse character incorporates elements of fruit belt, forested plateau and wooded farmland and the historic town of Cranbrook. Tunbridge Wells Borough Landscape Character Assessment 58 Character Area 4: Cranbrook Fruit Belt Key Characteristics 1) Gently undulating upland plateau that shelves towards the north. A larger-scale plateau top landscape where the slopes flatten out to form subtle valleys, in comparison to the intricately incised ridges and valleys which occur elsewhere. The plateau drops in the north towards the Low Weald and rises in the south to a ridgeline that can be considered to define the southern perimeter of the character area. The action of the Benenden Fault has resulted in ridgelines and uplands, with Tunbridge Wells Sand where the land dips to the north, Wadhurst Clay along the central plateau top, and local alluvium deposits associated with the numerous small streams that flow through the area.

  • Please Note : All Recorded Crime Figures Within This Document Have Been Extracted from Our Crime Recording System on 30Th March 2006 and May Be Subject to Change
    Please Note : All recorded crime figures within this document have been extracted from our crime recording system on 30th March 2006 and may be subject to change. The following report relates to recorded crimes for the period of 1st January 2005 to 28th February 2006. The crime recording system used by Kent Police does not have a specific field which enables identification of school premises. The means by which Kent Police has extracted the following data is through the use of specific wording recorded within the 'Modus Operandi (MO) Scene' field. Therefore, this data is based on :- 1) Those crimes that have been reported to Kent Police 2) Those that are defined as crimes and have subsequently been recorded by Kent Police 3) And, where the appropriate wording has been recorded in the 'MO Scene' field. Whilst the 'MO Scene' field records the crime as occurring on school premises, it does not necessarily reflect crimes committed within school hours or involving pupils/teachers. The data will include, for example, crimes to school property that occur overnight i.e. Criminal Damage, Arson and Burglary. It will also include crimes that occur in the vicinity of schools, but not necessarily against school property or within the school i.e. Theft of and from Vehicles and Theft of Pedal Cycles. It is also likely that a proportion of recorded Drug Offences will involve persons not associated with the school, but were committed on school grounds i.e. fields/outbuildings/sheds/garages. Although the crime may have occurred within the vicinity of a school, it may not have been reported by persons associated with the school and therefore, the school may be totally unaware of the crime.
