Bluebell Hill White Christmas vibes Walk along Mill Lane until a sharp bend to the right.
Continue straight ahead on to a footpath, when the path
becomes unfenced, walk within the edge of the wood. There may
be horses grazing here. Keep walking ahead, after the horses’
field the path runs parallel and quite close to the M2 motorway.
Newly planted mixed woodland borders the path. When the path
reaches a T-junction (with a bridge over the motorway to the left)
turn right and walk between the yards of Cossington Fields and
straight on between arable fields.
Cross over Bell Lane, go through a kissing gate, and walk straight
ahead on a footpath across an arable field. At the edge of the
wood turn right, then at the next field corner, turn left into the
wood over an unusual stile made of big stones.
Where the path forks, take the right hand branch. The path
winds downwards with many steps.
The path eventually meets a track – the North Downs Way
(NDW), turn right here.
Very soon the track crosses the cutting of the Channel Tunnel
Rail Link.
After passing over the railway, leave the petrol station on your
left and walk down hill (on NDW) to pass under the A229 road.
Turn left and then very soon turn right to rejoin the Pilgrims Way
(marked NDW).
When you reach the road (Rochester Road north of Aylesford)
cross over with great care and walk up the track on the right
(North Downs Way)
Return to the path and continue up hill and then up some steep
steps. When you reach the road turn left and walk on the
footway until you pass under a footbridge then cross one side
road (Salisbury Road). Continue beside the busy road
(the A229 again) until the old road branches off on the left.
Follow the old road. After a short while this becomes a footpath
which runs parallel to and below the main road with extensive
views to the west.
The path ends at Common Road, turn left and Blue Bell Hill
Picnic Site is on your left.
