Many of these routes can be found in our county’s best-known destinations, but our unsung villages often hold trails that are just as good, if not better, than their famous neighbours. Take Temple Ewell for example - there’s a good chance you may never have heard of this village, and that’s largely down to it being overshadowed by nearby Dover.
