TQ5846 : National cycleway 12 and the Wealdway
taken 14 years ago, near to Tonbridge, Kent, England
The Wealdway is a long distance path that runs from Gravesend, Kent on the Thames estuary, to the A259 at Eastbourne, in East Sussex. The Wealdway was conceived in 1970 by members of the Ramblers' Association as a route through the Kentish and Sussex Weald, providing a link between the routes north of the Thames and the start of the South Downs Way. It would also provide a return circuit for users of the Saxon Shore Way. Motorway construction work and the building of the Tonbridge Flood Relief Barrier forced many changes to the original route.
It is marked by double yellow 'W's along the route - see TQ6561 : Crossover in Long Distance pathways.

Tonbridge to Penshurst cycle route (Regional Cycle Route 12) between Tonbridge castle and Penshurst Place offers an excellent, almost entirely traffic free ride from the heart of Tonbridge alongside the River Medway, out into the countryside as far as the glorious buildings of Penshurst Place, some 5 miles (8km) to the west.
