July 3, 2022,Shoreham – Shoreham Lavender Fields Loop from Eynsford

Lovely walk through the heart of kent. The views are beautiful. There are some climbs but all are achievable. Easy parking at the start and great pubs/teashops in Shoreham on the way. If you go on a Saturday or Sunday there is an amazing litttle museum in Shoream too. We will definately do this wak again.

March 18, 2025,Shoreham loop

Nice loop from Shoreham, small free car park in Filston Lane. Couple of sharp climbs near the start but great views from the top. Nice gentle finale along the river Darent. Lavender fields in summer and some nice pubs in Shoreham at the end. Some lane work but not too much. Very nice walk on the right day with lots …
