🏞️ Hills, Valleys & Vistas – A Scenic Darent Valley Hike from Otford
πŸ“Œ A quick intro
Join us on πŸ“… Sunday 14th September for a scenic circular hike through one of Kent’s most picturesque valleys. Starting and finishing at πŸš‰ Otford Station, this 🚢 14.8 km loop climbs out of the village to reveal stunning views, rolling hills, and the wooded serenity of the Darent Valley.

This route includes some hills and narrower woodland paths, offering a bit more challenge β€” but you’ll be rewarded with beautiful vistas and plenty of varied terrain.
