Overview

Circular walk starting at the Dragon Car Park in Temple Ewell – access from the north side of London Road.

We head up hill to traverse the Nature Reserve to Lydden and then south to the village of Alkham. From there, the route takes us by the ruins of St Radigund’s Abbey. Then onto more ruins at Kearsney Abbey where there is a cafe and toilets. From there it’s a short hike back to Temple Ewell.

Lunch at a scenic stop. Dogs welcome, however, some stiles en route.
