Day Hikes

Welcome to the Summer Series …

Welcome to the Summer Series

A collection of small-group day hikes taking place across the summer, exploring some of Kent’s most beautiful countryside and coastline — each ending with an incredible lunch at one of the area’s most exciting tables.

Hosted by Elsewhere, these days are designed to feel relaxed, thoughtful and beautifully paced. Think vineyard trails, rolling countryside, woodland paths and dramatic stretches of coast — alongside long lunches, beautiful interiors and a small group of like-minded women.

Our day hikes are women-only experiences, bringing together small groups who value time outdoors, good food and beautiful surroundings.
