Overview

A pleasant walk through hidden valleys with distant views of the City and along the Darent Valley path in the afternoon. Undulating in part of the morning section with some short but steep ascents and descents but fairly flat in the afternoon. We will stop for lunch in Shoreham village where there is a churchyard and a nearby pub with time for drinks only - please bring a packed lunch.

There are toilet facilities at Eynsford station but they are not always open so using the toilet on the train is advised.

Exit point after about 5 miles at Shoreham station.
