Overview

Linear to Otford Station led by Pam H (Mobile No:  07777 698070) joint with Hammersmith, Fulham & Wandsworth Group. A mainly level walk along the Darent Valley Path, passing through the pretty villages of Farningham, Eynsford and Shoreham. We will also pass Lullingstone Castle and the nearby lavender fields which will hopefully still be in flower. Lunch stop at the Lullingstone Park Visitors Centre and Café, but please bring own picnic as the café gets very busy. Drop-out point at Shoreham (8 miles). Joint walk with Hammersmith, Fulham & Wandsworth Group.  Map: E161/147, L177/188.
