Overview

A lovely circular walk that goes east of Sevenoaks. We leave Sevenoaks through Knole Park where deer roam. Then we walk through coppiced woodland passing Godden Green and Stone Street to Ightham Moat, a manor house. We then continue to Shipbourne where we stop for lunch. There is a pub, but please bring a packed lunch.

After lunch we walk along the Greensand ridge with superb views over the Weald. We revisit Knole Park on the way to Sevenoaks.

Reminder that clocks go back 1 hour overnight.
