Coast to coast walk, day 3... into the Elham Valley. Walking for Cortijo Romero.
The strange thing about living so near to the coast is that very often the inland areas are forgotten by visitors and even the locals. Even though I will never tire of the endlessly different seascapes that I am so blessed to see each day, the one thing I miss are trees. Something about trees has always inspired me, soothed me and filled my heart with joy. So with this in mind, I was very happy to set out on the next stage of our walk heading further along the Elham Valley Way. Leaving Bridge, a pretty Kent village, I was already excited because we were about to walk across my favourite field. This field has an almost regal feel, winding past a huge mansion where for a moment I could imagine being in a scene from Pride and Prejudice. Even the sheep seem relaxed and friendly, almost smiling at us hiking past. The grass feels soft underfoot and the clear path leads to another picturesque village and ancient church. We actually know this area as it is near a very popular pub/hote
