You are near Speldhurst, a quiet Kent village a couple of kilometres north-west of Tunbridge Wells, with Rusthall and its sandstone outcrops just to the south. The oast houses with their white cowls, built to dry the hops, are still scattered across the fields, though most are now houses.
Speldhurst church is known for its stained glass, much of it by Edward Burne-Jones, the Pre-Raphaelite artist, and in the village there is an old pub that claims a very long history. It is a good example of what the area does well: small, local, a little overlooked. Rusthall's Toad Rock, a mushroom-shaped block of sandstone shaped by wind and rain, is close by, and the sandstone crops out all over these woods, giving the lanes a sunken, rocky character that looks like Devon.
The riding is enjoyable but slow. Around Speldhurst the lanes are narrow and shaded, the surface is patchy and in winter it can be greasy with mud and fallen leaves, so give them your attention. Farm tractors, delivery vans and horses all share these roads. The route north toward Penshurst and Leigh is lovely in spring when the bluebells are out, and to the south are the ridges of Eridge and the long, quiet roads toward Sussex. Most of the character comes from being slightly lost.
For practical needs, Speldhurst is too small to count on a petrol station, though the village has a pub and a church. Tunbridge Wells, about six kilometres away, has everything. That makes this a reasonable place to be on a long return: you are quiet, close to supplies and still in good riding country. Take the last miles gently and keep a good lookout for cyclists, and you will arrive home having enjoyed it.
