Here we encounter remarkable landmarks including the quirky duck house — Britain’s smallest Grade II listed building — and the evocative ruins of Otford Palace, once a Tudor residence larger than Hampton Court and known as “the lost palace of Henry VIII.”From Otford we join the historic North Downs Way, tracing part of the medieval Pilgrims Way that itself followed an even older Stone Age track. The path leads to Otford Mount, where a Bronze Age barrow crowns the ridge and panoramic views stretch across the valley. Continuing onwards, we cross the nature-rich chalk grassland of Kemsing Down and pass by Otford Manor, high above the valley, before descending through woodland and fields.Midway, we pause for lunch at a traditional 500-year-old pub, hidden away in the countryside. Inside, little has changed since the 1960s, giving it a nostalgic charm that feels like stepping back in time. With its rustic character, it makes for a unique and memorable break on our journey.Our adventure ends at a family-owned vineyard, where you can sample local Kentish wines with an optional extra - tasting flight and stone-baked pizza. Surrounded by vines and rolling hills, this picturesque stop — complete with a boutique shop selling locally produced gifts — is the perfect finale to a day exploring Kent’s landscapes, history and hidden gems.🧭 Guide:• Leader: GRAHAM• Contact (hike day only): 07796 098487🍽️ Food:• Bring a packed lunch• Pub visit after the hike (drinks optional)🎒What to Bring• Hiking boots/shoes• Water (2 litres minimum)• Packed lunch• Waterproofs (jacket and trousers)• Hat and gloves if cold• Train tickets are arranged – just meet us at the meeting point⚠️ SafetyYour guide is a trained hike leader and Outdoor Activity First Aider❓ Want to Know More?• New to Our Trips?
