The Wye Not Wander takes place in Kent, starting from the Village Hall in the High Street of Wye. The event explores the landscape where the Stour Valley meets the North Downs, traversing the countryside of both the Downs and the Valley. Participants can view the Wye Crown, a monument carved into the chalk to commemorate the coronation of Edward VII.

The event offers three distinct course distances:

  • 27 miles

Entrants must carry a route description, which is provided by the organizer, and are advised to carry a map case, compass, and relevant OS Explorer (137, 138, and 150) or Landranger (179) maps. Detailed .gpx files are also available for navigation.
