Overview

Say farewell to 2025 with this New Year's Eve loop around Westerham taking in the two beautiful National Trust properties at Emmetts Garden and Chartwell.  

Starting from the main Westerham public car park, we head out across Hosey Common, up Toy's Hill to Emmett's Garden and a mid-morning coffee stop. After taking the views of the gardens and the surrounding countryside, we head back across the valley to Winston Churchill's home at Chartwell for our lunch stop (and more coffee!). Finally we head back to Westerham with the chance for an early New Year's celebratory drink.
