Detling Hill [North Downs]
Detling Hill is a Marilyn, 202m high, in the Kent Downs National Landscape, and also counts as a HuMP. The Marilyns are hills anywhere in Britain and Ireland with at least 150 metres of prominence, whatever their height.
Bearsted is the nearest station, 1.6 mi (about 2 to 2.5 mi on foot), so the summit is within walking distance of the train. From Bearsted it's about 1 hour to the summit, 1 in 19 on average. Hollingbourne is next, 2.9 mi (about 4 to 4.5 mi on foot), and 31 stations are within 10 miles in all. The North Downs Way National Trail passes 0.1 mi away.
Detling Hill is a hill forming part of the North Downs in Kent, north-east of Maidstone, and is situated in the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The typical southern escarpment of the North Downs is found here, and produces dramatic views over the Low Weald. The North Downs Way passes along the hill just south of the summit.
