From car park take signed footpath into town centre passing church. Situated on the green is an impressive statue of Churchill. On other side of road look for some stone steps which lead up to an alleyway called Water Lane: the route of both the Greensand Way (GW) and the Westerham to Chartwell Trail. Enclosed path soon reaches a gate leading into a field where latter trail keeps ahead while you turn R, following GW. Keep following GW waymarks, turning L along an access road that leads to a house, then bear R up footpath that climbs uphill affording fine views back. Continue through woodland. Maintain direction until you reach a road.
