It has been a long and lazy winter, so the 50 Walks Project has somewhat taken a back seat to TV, the web and general inactivity. However, the time felt right to venture out again and we chose the Ivychurch walk called ‘Across Romney Marshes’ or number 15 in the book

I have never really spent much time on the Romney Marshes and this walk has done nothing to change my enthusiasm for the place. This is by far the most flat of the walks, which is to be expected as there isn’t even a hint of a hill anywhere on the Marsh, but this also makes the scenery quite bland. Very bland in fact.

Unfortunately the route instructions are not all that accurate either and we guessed at some points which direction to take. The Marsh is also covered in rubbish. Shame, but there you go.

This walk hasn’t put us off though, and we are hopeful that there will still be many more enjoyable routes still to discover. I wouldn’t rush to try this one again. Ivychurch itself is really nice – a pretty little village with a nice church.
