Mark L's Otford & Shoreham Circular - 9 miles

Moderate 9miles/14.5km Ascent: 1240ft /378m circular

We start at the village car park in Otford and have a quick look at the remains of the Archbishop’s Palace before we leave the village via the station and prepare for the steep climb up Otford Mount on the North Downs Way. We then have the pleasure of coming downhill to the delightful village of Shoreham via the lovely church. We have our picnic lunch at the top of the next hill overlooking the village at Shoreham Cross. Our route then takes us through Pilots Wood with a slight diversion to stand on a bridge and marvel at the M25 far below us. Our route back to Otford is via the Darenth Valley Path.

NB: There is a £2 payment required for non-Ramblers Assoc. members to help cover our Meetup costs. Please help the walk leader by bringing the exact change.Ramblers members are welcome on any of our walks, but we would still encourage you to RSVP on Meetup. This will give our volunteer walk leaders an idea of how many are attending, and also keep the numbers manageable. If, on the day of the walk, you are still on the waiting list and a Ramblers member, you can attend - just let the walk leader know you are coming by adding a comment 'Coming as a Rambler'. You will find the start location via our website
