Overview

Meet at Dryhill Nature Reserve free car park. In the morning we walk through countryside, cross the A21 to the residential area of Kippington, through Sevenoaks Town and Bradbourne Lakes to the Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve, where we stop for a picnic lunch. In the afternoon we continue along the Darent Valley Path to Dunton Green, Chipstead and back to the car park. Fairly flat walk on pavements and good paths. Map EX147.
