We are the Bromley Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Starting at Sevenoaks railway station, this is a 4.5 mile moderate walk with some uphill and downhill gradients, and some urban walking until we get into the park, and after we leave it. We walk uphill from the station , past The Vine (historic cricket ground ) into beautiful Knole park, Kent's last medieval deer park.
If the group wishes, we will stop for refreshments and toilets at the NT cafe adjoining Knole House.(or people may prefer to bring their own refreshments)
We follow mainly surfaced paths, with lovely views of Knole House (originally a Medieval manor and one of England's largest country houses with an incredible 365 rooms apparently !) surrounding countryside, passing through a golf course and woodland with ancient trees. We will leave the park by the main entrance which leads us into Sevenoaks town where there are many cafes and some attractive old buildings, and return to the station walking downhill through the town.
Meeting point at Sevenoaks railway station is outside Costa coffee stall just inside main entrance.
There is a car park at the station, but it is not free on Sundays. I found that there are bays where parking is free on Sundays in St Botolphs road, which is just up from the station on the other side of London road.( this is the first road we are going to walk up).
Dogs on leads are welcome , but be aware the deer in the park are not enclosed. (I am not bringing my dog because she is silly around livestock)
