There are several well-stocked pubs within a mile or so offering fine ales and a friendly atmosphere. Edith Nesbit (author of The Railway Children) grew up in Halstead in the 1870s and her wanderings close to the local railway line may well have inspired her 1906 classic. The well-known North Downs Way offers spectacular views and a fascinating heritage, passing through the nearby Kent Downs Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The following part of the trail incorporates the historic Pilgrims Way and the heights of the top of the Downs. The nearby farm hosts an annual (April) ’lambing day’ and country market in the field directly opposite the property. Featuring a tractor display, local food and drink and lambs to meet, this is a great day out for all the family. Halstead’s charming lanes, historical architecture and friendly locals attract many cyclists, ramblers and dog walkers to explore and create lasting memories. From strolls in the countryside, to immersing yourself in local markets, there’s something for every type of traveller. Whether you’re seeking a romantic escape or a solo adventure, Havre De Calme provides the perfect setting.
