Rambling: Otford 6 mile circular, Kent

Otford is a pretty village in Kent, with a very attractive pond. This walk starts from the car park next to the cricket ground, where parking was very reasonable – just £1 for 3 hours! We followed a route similar to this one on AllTrails. The route also goes close to Shoreham village with its pubs and bridge over the River Darent. Unusually for Kent, there are several climbs on the walk, some through the woods that were steep enough for steps to have been provided. The highlight was a descent through a meadow full of wild flowers, with views of rolling hills and unspoilt countryside.
