Nice walk in the country

[nylonmeals]

Given that the weather looks set to be lovely this weekend (saying that I know that it will now rain heavily) I wanted to do a family day out and have a bit of a country walk. We've just got a baby back pack and want to use it!

Do any of you have any tips for walks or villages/areas that we can drive to quite easily from ED?

We did a great walk last year around Eynsford in Kent which had roman villas, castles, old churches and farms. I think it was a Forum tip actually

But would love any other tips about nice places!

Thanks

There's an Otford Cicular walk on the Time Out walks site which is lovely (especially if the bluebells are out, but it may be a bit early for that). You can get the train to Otford from Denmark Hill station.

It does have a steep up hill walk at the beginning, but the rest of it is level/down hill if I recall correctly.

If I weren't 6 months pregnant, I'd be out for a walk myself - I may have to make do with once round the park!

I hope you went to the Wild Bird Centre in Eynsford- awesome!

Godstone Farm near M25 (Surrey) then a walk on nearby North Downs - beautiful views and a lovely farm to visit. Should only take 45 mins from ED in car on a good day.

The circuit from Shipbourne in Kent around Ightham Mote is lovely and you can have lunch at the Chaser Inn afterwards
