Sheldwich to Selling Weekday Evening Walk
Sunset Stroll: Sheldwich to Selling and Beyond
A quick intro
As the day winds down and the sky is painted with hues of gold and amber, step into the evening with us on a stunning 6-mile circular walk from Sheldwich, passing through the charming village of Selling and looping back. This journey through Kent’s breathtaking countryside is the perfect escape from the busyness of everyday life, offering a chance to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience the landscape in a whole new light.
Walking at dusk brings a special kind of magic—watch the orchards glow in the fading sunlight, feel the stillness settle over the fields, and listen as the woodland comes alive with the sounds of the evening. If you are looking to stretch your legs after the long day, this walk promises just that.

Learn more aboutthis wonderful walk
Starting in Sheldwich, a picturesque village on the edge of the Kent Downs, the route takes us through rolling countryside shaped by centuries of farming and rural traditions. As we set off, we’ll pass through flourishing orchards where Kent’s famous apples and pears grow, walking beneath canopies of fruit-laden trees. The open fields and quiet lanes will be bathed in golden light, making for a truly atmospheric journey.
As we make our way towards Selling, we’ll enter pockets of ancient woodland, where the landscape changes dramatically. These historic woods, once part of a vast medieval forest, are home to a variety of wildlife—keep an eye out for deer, listen for the hoots of owls, and enjoy the rustling of leaves as nocturnal creatures begin to stir.
Passing through Selling, a village steeped in history with its traditional cottages and historic church, we’ll follow scenic countryside paths to complete our circular route back to Sheldwich. Walking in the cool evening air, surrounded by the peaceful beauty of Kent’s landscapes, makes this a truly rewarding experience.
The walk starts promptly on time. If you’re running a bit behind schedule, give us a call to inform us (you’ll find our number on your booking confirmation if you’ve booked through the website, or message Ian Henderson via MeetUp).
