The Society's Footpath Group - 'The Bearsted & Thurnham Footpath Group' aims by the regular walks to ensure that all public footpaths in and around the two parishes are kept open. Normal distance of walks is 5½ miles.
Bi-monthly walk programmes are published on all Bearsted Parish Notice Boards and in the Parish magazine, or by application to one of the walk leaders.
Friday evening walks are also held on certain Friday evenings during the summer, normally May to September commencing at 6.30pm at the Green. The distance is normally approx 3½ miles and normally held on the 3rd Saturday each month commencing 1.15pm if from Bearsted Green or 1.30pm if from elsewhere.
Walks are open to all ages. Adults should be members of the Society and children should be accompanied by a responsible adult. Neither the Society nor the Walk Leaders accept any responsibility for any accident occurring to or caused by any person animal or dog on our walks. Walkers are urged to be vigilant when crossing or walking on roads, paths etc. Dogs are welcome but must be kept on leads and under control, at all times. Walkers need to wear stout footwear, bring adequate wet weather clothing, be prepared to negotiate rough ground, and be able to climb over stiles and up steep slopes.
