Overview

A circular walk which starts and ends at Eynsford Railway Station. The first section of the walk  is on a stretch of narrow country lane which takes us into wooded hill paths of the Kent Downs National Landscape with spectacular valley views. The trail continues through agricultural  fields and on to a livestock farm (Dunstall Farm).

We then pickup a short section of the North Downs Way into Otford for a lunch stop. Please bring a packed lunch.

After lunch we follow the river Darent along flat terrain passing through Shoreham and  Lullingston Castle before returning to Eynsford Railway Station.

Some paths may be muddy.

Dropout points are at Otford and Shoreham.

Not suitable for dogs.
