LULLINGSTONE PARK, DARENT VALLEY PATH AND EYNSFORD CASTLE - Hiking
A contrast between hidden valleys in the North Downs and the Darent Valley Path through three interesting villages (Eynsford, Otford and Shoreham).
Distance: 18 km
Grading: Medium
Rating: 5 out of 10
Ascent: 400m
Hiking time: About 5 to 6 hours of actual hiking
On our plan for today we will visit the Eynsford Castle.
It starts along a country lane through the secluded Austin Lodge valley, climbing to the isolated settlement of Romney Street.
It continues on an undulating section to a ridge with fine views of the Darent valley, from where you descend into Otford, passing its scale model of the Solar System. The village has many interesting old buildings and the route takes you past the ruins of Otford Palace.
After passing extensive lavender fields at Castle Farm an attractive riverside stretch leads to Lullingstone Castle.

WALKING IN KENT | EYNSFORD
I was joined by Candice again on our 5th date together, for a 5 mile walk in and around Eynsford in Kent. This walk had loads of history, including 2 castles, a church and even a Roman Villa! It followed a section of the Darent Valley Path with views of the River Darent and some stretches of woodland walking through Lullingstone Park.

Eynsford Viaduct 2017
EYNSFORD VIADUCT
This impressive nine-arched red-brick viaduct was built by the independent Sevenoaks Railway to carry the Swanley to Sevenoaks line across the River Darent, it opened in 1862.
The viaduct has nine arches of 30-foot span and rises to a height of 75 feet above the valley.
Time Out Walks, Book 1, Walk 23, Otford to Eynsford. 13/1/13.
This is another shortish walk of 8.8 miles in the county of Kent.
Setting out on a bright day, with a bitter wind, the walker is soon leaving the station behind and passing 'Uranus', one of Otford's Solar System miniatures. Thereafter, it's across fields and along lanes for some fine views from Meenfield Wood. Then, there's a gentle descent into the pretty village of Shoreham where lunch can be had at any one of three hostelries, or, in this case, in the porch of the fine village church.
Reinvigorated, the walker continues along the Darent Valley Path to then join The Millennium Footpath for a section of uphill walking. As usual from heights, the views offer great recompense.There's then some woodland walking before coming out onto a golf course, with some fine views, and then reaching Lullingstone Park, with its Visitor Centre and Castle.
Thereafter, it's on past Lullingstone Roman Villa, and under an impressive Victorian rail viaduct before an optional detour to another castle ruin at Eynsford (not taken today). Eynsford rail station follows shortly after.
Another impressive shorter walk that is just over half an hour from Central London.
(First Snowdrops of the season seen today outside the church wall of St Bartholomew's, and what appeared to be ludicrously early Primroses in Mill Lane, Shoreham, though neither filmed, unfortunately).

FC Lullingstone Castle
Set in this hidden valley overlooking a 19 acre lake beside the meandering River Darenth sits Lullingstone Castle. South Wing is a substantial portion of the original grand building offering unique and versatile five bedroom accommodation over three floors. Sympathetic restoration has been carried out by the present owners to retain all the charactor of the period but with a modern twist.
