This section of the walk travels through the historic Somerhill Park which is studded with magnificent trees and is a very important wildlife area, with springtime bluebells and wood anemones. The Southborough valley still displays evidence of its industrial past as names and buildings still recall this period. Tudeley Church which was mentioned in the Domesday Book is a worthwhile detour especially for it's 20th Century stained glass windows by Marc Chagall.
