Parish Peregrination is intended as a circular walking route, as opposed to a cache and dash circuit, linking our additions to sadexploration's Church Micro series here at Goodnestone ( GC2VNYW - CM 1820), Nonington (GC2VPVE - CM 1822), Womenswold (GC2WDV5- CM 1859), Barfrestone (GC2VKH4 - CM 1817), Chillenden (GC2VKF6 - CM 1815),and Knowlton (GC2TEA6 - CM 1786).
The route is intended to start at and will be described from Parish Peregrination - Rosings. The entire route is approximately 14 miles (22.5km). It will take in the 6 fore mentioned Church Micro's plus 23 additional 'trail' caches. There is an opportunity to split the route into two, one of 6.5 miles (10.5km) the other 8 miles (13km). The route is via public rights of way with a number of moderate climbs and descents, BUT does require some quiet lane walking where the usual care will be needed. There are NO FTF prizes as such, although a number of the small caches only contain a very neat LED Torch, so PLEASE Trade Up - Trade Even - Or Don't Trade these items folks.
From the CM 1859 cache continue up the road past the former Yew Tree pub until you reach a junction on your right. On the corner you will see a footpath marker. Follow this across the property into the tree's. Keep left on this footpath until it emerges onto a lane. Almost opposite is another footpath marker, take it and follow the footpath through the woods until you reach the Gate House. Turn right along the footpath and follow co-ords for Parish Peregrination - Sheerway Gate.
Sheerway Gate into Fredville Park
Sheerway Gate. A sheer way or shire gate is Kent dialect for a track or road going through private land. On a map of 1750 a 'sheerway' is shown from Church Farm Nonington to Goodnestone Park, probably followed on the Parish Peregrination route from Goodnestone via Pinners Farm House across Pinners Hill down into the farm.
