Overview

Following the Darent Valley via the attractive village of Farningham, we walk a circuit of Eynsford. Sights en route are old mill works near Farningham station, a folly bridge, viaduct, Eynsford Castle, Eagle Heights and Lullingstone Castle. Walking at a moderate pace and mostly flat but with some ups and downs and a couple of stiles, including over the railway line.

There is a drop out point at Eynsford after 5 miles.
